## Pinout and Paths
### Ethernet
GH 9-pin connector. Both ETH0 and ETH1 have the same pinout. Pinout is given for Fast Ethernet (Eg. for connecting to Skynode, and radio) and Gigabit Ethernet modes.
| Pin | 100Base-T | 1000Base-T |
| --- | --------- | ---------- |
| 1 | - | BI\_DD\_N |
| 2 | - | BI\_DD\_P |
| 3 | RD\_N | BI\_DB\_N |
| 4 | - | BI\_DC\_N |
| 5 | - | BI\_DC\_P |
| 6 | RD\_P | BI\_DB\_P |
| 7 | TD\_N | BI\_DA\_N |
| 8 | TD\_P | BI\_DA\_P |
| 9 | GND | GND |
### USB Type C
Each of the two USB Type C ports is USB3.0 rated, with backward compatibility with USB2.0.
USB2.0 hub acts as independent submodule of USB3.0 hub, allowing for independent simultanious use of both USB2.0 and USB3.0 interefaces. Type C connectors are reversible, and have two USB3.0 lanes, and two USB2.0 routed to each of the Type C ports in order to meet reversibility requirements.
{% hint style="success" %}
Due to this design decision, it is possible to use a *passive* break out board to route out up to 8 USB ports for simultaneous use: 4x USB2.0 and 4x USB3.0
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
As it is a USB hub, total bandwidth is shared between all attached USB devices, that is:
* 420Mbps for all attached USB2.0 devices
* 5Gbps for all attached USB3.0 devices
{% endhint %}
### MIPI-CSI
22 pin 0.5mm ribbon cable, RPi camera compatible. By default, configured to IMX219 sensor, may be switched to IMX477 from user-space by setting `CSI1_IMX477=1` or `CSI4_IMX477=1`.
{% hint style="success" %}
On AOS version `ainode-v0.7.0` and above:
* CSI1 is available under `/dev/video1`, or `sensor-id 1` when using `nvarguscamerascr`
* CSI4 is available under `/dev/video2`, or `sensor-id 2` when using `nvarguscamerascr`
These are fixed, persistent, and independent from other cameras attached/detached.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
On older AOS versions below`ainode-v0.7.0,` `/dev/videoX` is allocated dynamically at boot, and thus is not persistent.`sensor-id` for `nvarguscamerasrc` are also allocated dynamically:
* If both CSI1 and CSI4 are present, CSI1 is `sensor-id 1` and CSI4 is `sensor id 2`
* If only CSI1 is present, it is `sensor-id 1`
* If only CSI4 is present, it is `sensor-id 1`
{% endhint %}
