### Camera interface
An analog switch is used for each MIPI CSI interface, allowing the MIPI CSI interfaces to be accessible through both the JCAM camera interconnect receptacle and the B2B expansion connector (JEXP4).
For more information about camera mezzanine board, see the [Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-9075 PVT GMSL Mezzanine Interface User Guide](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/80-70022-43/resource/80-70022-43_REV_AA_Qualcomm_Dragonwing_IQ-9075_PVT_GMSL_Mezzanine_Interface_User_guide.pdf).
The following table lists the CSI interfaces, their analog switch, camera connector, and B2B connector pinout.
Note
You can connect the CSI interfaces to the mainboard connector or to GMSL mezzanine through a DIP switch setting. For the correct setting, see the [Table: DIP switch position and its respective functions](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70023-261/topic/iq9-ug-hw-overview.html#table-aqt-1vs-w2c).
