HEADLESS SETUP - Jetson Nano

[@mindamyers]

These instructions worked for me and got me up and running on a 4GB B01 Jetson Nano development kit. Thank you Jim!

You're welcome. I'm glad you were able to get it to work. Thanks for watching!

Dude you are on fire! I could find any word to explain what you have done! Thanks!

Very grateful for your last session on using headless setup on my laptop to setup my JN. During the process my network had problem with DHCP server, I am still trying to troubleshoot this problem. Nonetheless, I got in and am so happy!

I am glad you found this useful. Thanks for watching!

[@buhbbl]

If only I knew this before I setup everything. But could you maybe show how to install arch on Jetson nano?

[@JetsonHacks]

Different distributions can be challenging. If you are running headless (and there's none of extra GUI stuff, the space taken is much smaller), I'm not quite sure the extra work is worth the effort.

For those who are not seeing any data over the USB's emulated serial port, I found a power cycle got it up and running for some reason. This is with the Jetpack 4.6.1 image.

[@behroozbon]

Hi Jim, Thank you for your informative video. I am trying the version with windows and Ethernet. when I want to connect through Putty and COM port, I get Error: " Error reading from serial device". Then if I restart putty session it seems that setup has been done! here I see this in terminal: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS localhost.localdomain ttyGS0 localhost login: I flashed the card again and again, but the same error happens. Could you please help me to figure out what the problem is? Thanks

[@vvwording4844]

Your tutorial about headless running was especially useful today. I am waiting for the delivery of a new camera, the e-CAM30. for the Jetson Nano. And the installation instructions for the e-CAM30 seem much like your tutorial here,. Should be an interesting task. (I wonder if I should combine the two tasks?) If you were doing the instructions for installing the e-CAM30 it would be easier. Your tutorial on running on USB was clear enough that I figured it out in less than a week or two (I'm well into the senior age). And headless running on Ethernet could mean ditching the m.2 SATA wifi, and instead using the Jetson Nano's m.2 SATA port to host an m.2 NVMe cable - $20 or so plus the cost of an NVMe card. If it works.

hi Jim! thank you so much for those great tutorials! I just got my own Nano and followed every single video that you uploaded! All of that work fantastic. It could be really nice if you have time to make an episode about compiling C++ API of Tensorflow on Jetson Nano since I've been stacked with that all this week. The compiling process always costs me more than 10 hours and then BOOM! Process FAILED.....Feel frustrated and seeking for help XD. Anyway your channel is super helpful for Linux Muggle like me~ Thanks in Advance

Hi has this now changed? I have just flashed the latest Jetpack 4.6 and trying to setup from a linux host. Screen pops up but tells me: "Cannot exec '/dev/ttyACM1': No such file or directory". Screen will not even open for /dev/tty alone. I cannot seem to find any info on this even on nvidia forums. Am I missing something? Thanks.

[@JetsonHacks]

I haven't tried it in the most recent release. However, are you sure that it is on /dev/ttyACM1 and not some other port?

i have a question can i boot using usb drive or do i have to use sd card

[@JetsonHacks]

You should be able to configure the Jetson to boot from USB using the SDK manager. Good luck on your project!

[@anonymous-de5mj]

I have been using nano for a while using monitor and keyboard. How can I change to headless setup in my laptop? I don't want to loose the initial libraries installed. Do I need to start all over again with flashing the image and booting the nano all over again.

Please ask this question on the official NVIDIA Jetson Developers Forum. Thanks for watching!

[@angelleal3005]

Did you solve it ? I wanna know too.

[@a.e.9445]

I have tried to do the initial headless setup (Windows 10) without using an ethernet cable (beginner mistakes) and went up to a point where I had to press OK for the setup to begin (I don't think the screen at 19:35 for the network configuration showed up). I powered the system off to restart the process, but now every time I connect my microUSB cable, my PC doesn't recognise it in the Device Manager > Ports. I tried logging in using Putty but it doesn't work. So now basically my PC doesn't recognise the Jetson Nano after I plug in the micro USB cable and the DC barell jack. Any help, please!?

[@patrickjane419]

So what if I have a 6v source from a pack of 4 AA duracells? Do I need to step it down to 5v using another circuitry? Or can I connect it directly?

[@JetsonHacks]

The Jetson Nano requires 5V. Typically people use some type of voltage regulator. You also have to take into consideration the power draw of the Jetson. The power supply provides 5V 4A. It will depends on your use case and accessories you attach to the Jetson as to how much current it draws. Thanks for watching!

Hey Jim, love your videos! Got a quick question, I''ve connected my nano 2GB with a USB type A to USB-C. I'm running linux on a windows 10 laptop and I'm getting some errors in my terminal when I input "ls /dev/ttyACM*". The error reads: ls: cannot access '/dev/ttyACM*: not a directory". Is this a connection problem or did I not setup something correctly?

[@JetsonHacks]

I think that's the way you would access it. Is /dev a directory? and do you get output from "ls /dev/tty*"

No recovery mode is needed. I don't know what "show up as a device" means. What command did you run, and what result makes you believe that?

What about using Remote Desktop? Is there a way to set up the Jetson Nano headless with the GUI desktop using Remote Desktop? I have all my Raspberry Pies set up this way and would like to set up a Jetson Nano this way as well. Thanks.

[@moisessoto5061]

can it be used just plugged to the host machine, without ssh and plugging in a barrel jack? thanks for the videos

[@JetsonHacks]

It uses the barrel jack to power the Jetson Nano. If you do not use the barrel jack, the Nano does not power on. I do not understand your question about SSH.

[@sborkes]

Hi JetsonHacks, thanks for this lesson. I don't have a wifi adapter :( so it difficult to dev with the jetson nano when I'm far away from the router. Do you know if it is possible to forward an internet connection through USB while using the headless setup?

thanks a lot for yet another awesome guide. I have it all up and running, though it's painfully slow to react. specifically it's slow on returning to my Mac that I use to control Jetson - if I press a button on a Mac - it executes almost immediately on Jetson and I see it on the attached screen, but it takes a few seconds to show up back on a Mac.

I encountered an error when trying to setup over ethernet.

You may need the sudo to access your USB ports on your machine. You will need to flash the SD card again before you can set it up again.

Nice one Jim! May I ask you a question? Here goes it: Is there a GPIO port in Nano that outputs 1/on when power hits in and I can disable it (0/off) after boot is completed?

[@JetsonHacks]

Thank you for the kind words. I'm not sure how that would work, as the machine is not running when the power turns on. You should ask the question in the official NVIDIA Jetson Nano Forum where a large group of developers may have words of advice. Thanks for watching!

i am using a windows 10 host. the jetso nano is not showing in the device manager how do i fix this?

It's difficult to say given your description. You must use a data capable USB cable. Some people try using a charging cable. Also, is the green light on when you power the up the Jetson with the barrel jack?
