I connected the board to the computer with GPIO pins (UART). While I’m booting the board, it gives the message “Please complete system configuration setup on the serial port provided by Jetson’s USB device mode connection. e.g. /dev/ttyACx …” and stops booting. What does it mean? Can you help me on this issue?
Connect the micro usb port on jetson to a ubuntu host.
On that ubuntu host, use some tools like minicom to open /dev/ttyACM0, and it will give you a window to complete system configuration on NX.
There is a “USB 3.0 Type-C Connector” port on the Quark Carrier and connected it to my computer by using that port. I followed this tutorial for flashing: https://connecttech.com/resource-center/kdb373/
Then, I used GPIO pins to connect it to my computer with UART and used Minicom for booting by following the tutorial: Jetson Nano Style - Serial Console - JetsonHacks. I am using /dev/ttyUSB0. Does it matter?
My previous comment was for NV devkit. Thus, for custom carrier board from other vendors, use the flashing port to do what I said here. For your case, that is the “USB 3.0 Type-C Connector” port.
And that /dev/ttyUSB0 has nothing to do with /dev/ttyACM0.
BTW, you can also just use a HDMI monitor and keyboard to finish this on GUI, if you have a monitor there.

Yes, I have a monitor but how can I make the HDMI connection since I can’t see any HDMI port on the Quark Carrier.
Then you can only try the type C port I mentioned.
Sorry that I didn’t know there isn’t a HDMI port on your board since this is a custom board from other vendors.
I already connected it to my computer by using that port and completed flashing through SDKManager. However, it requires a UART connection through GPIO pins for booting. Hence; I used PL2303 to convert UART pins to USB in order to connect it to my computer after completing flashing. After that, I started booting with Minicom but it stops by outputting the message “Please complete system configuration setup on the serial port provided by Jetson’s USB device mode connection.”
How can I avoid the error? Or can you recommend me a proper tutorial for booting which is suitable for Quark Carrier.
It looks like you cannot understand what I was trying to say here. Let me give whole steps again.
-
You use the type C port to flash with SDKmanager → it is correct
-
You connect the UART pin with PL2303 cable and connect it to your ubuntu host. This is ttyUSB0 on your side.
-
You see there is a log from ttyUSB0 and tells you to finish the configuration. → yes, it is expected. Not an error.
Then what I ask you to do is please keep the typeC port connected to your host, check if there is an interface /dev/ttyACM0 on your host. If there is, open it with other minicom.
As I said, it has nothing to do with ttyUSB0. They are different interfaces. We use ttyUSB0 to dump the log and ttyACM0 to do system configuration for your first boot.
Okay, now I understand it well, thank you. However, I have one last issue that my computer doesn’t detect any /dev/ttyACM* when I connect it. It doesn’t even see on dmesg when I plug it in.
Is it the port you used to flash the device?
Yes, exactly. In flashing, I triggered the recovery button so the port became viewable but now I’m afraid to do it because it’s already flashed.
Please boot up/reboot device and try to hotplug the type C cable few times and see if anything comes from host dmesg.
Also, please check if cdc_acm is listed in your host “lsmod”.
If there is not, some methods here:
method 1. Please directly contact Connecttech and ask them if their driver package missing some software so that you cannot do the system configuration.
method 2. Try below script and re-flash the board again. It was a debug script I shared year ago. It shall skip the system configuration.

Hi @furkan.nargul,
Have you contacted our Tech Team? If you fill out our Support Form, our team will help you troubleshoot and get you up and running.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you very much, 2nd method worked! I passed to the login step but I tried both “nvidia” and “ubuntu” for login and password but they didn’t work. What are the username and password supposed to be?
The username and password should be set by you. There is no default user name.
It requires a localhost login and password as shown below. I tried leaving blank for both but it says “Login incorrect”. The last a few lines are shown below.

Yes, the username + password is set by you when you use the script from method 2…
sudo ./l4t_create_default_user.sh -u <usr_name> -p “password”
Fİrstly I used the command below:
sudo ./l4t_create_default_user.sh -u nvidia -p nvidia
Then, I re-flashed the device. However, it still says “Login incorrect.” Can I fix the problem by setting AutoLogin to True?
Then please contact Connecttech to check this issue. Looks like that script is no longer working.
