I am trying to develop using jetson nano and lidar. I wonder if jetson nano is equipped with lidar.
The first is power. The power received from the nano is limited, so I am afraid that the installation of the lidar will cause power supply problems. There is an additional power supply in the lidar, but I am not sure if it is.
The second problem is the performance of nano.
I am wondering if nano can handle the data of the point cloud received from lidar.
We need help from many nano users.
Thank you for reading my article.
Your refer article is about jetson tx1 not jetson nano and Lidar is not working in jetson nano. (Error, cannot bind to the specified serial port /dev/ttyUSB0)
Please list the command that you were attempting to execute when you encountered the error. Do you have any other USB devices attached? Did you try using sudo with the command?
You probably do not have enough power to run both the Jetson and the lidar. 2A is just enough to run the Jetson by itself. Typically people use a 5V 4A power supply for the Jetson to supply enough power for the Jetson and lidar. If that is not enough, you may need to use a powered USB hub for the lidar.
This has been driving me nuts for 4 days as well. I even tried replacing the RPLidar A2M7. Same thing. I’ve tried everything. Not that there is very much out there for this error.
cd ~/Developer/rplidar_sdk/sdk/output/Linux/Release
./ultra_simple /dev/ttyUSB0
Error, cannot bind to the specified serial port /dev/ttyUSB0

Alternatively, this post recommends adding your user to dialout group. Although I guess you already chmod the /dev node - regardless, what happens when you run the examples with sudo privileges?
Do you get dmesg output from the kernel log when you plug the device in?
i tried as the instructables suggested . update and upgrade my jetson nano . but i am not able to see the ttyUSB0 listed when i connect Rplidar a1 using cp210x
the usb-devices cmd shows (none) next to the cp210x driver . i also followed jetsonhacks post for tx1 but, it didnt help as the kernel mismatch . pls help me on how to install the driver for cp210x .

hi . can you explain how to load the cp210x driver .
zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CP210
the above yielded me
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CP210X=m
but, i am not able to find the ttyUSB0 or any driver for the cp210x under usb-devices cmd . pls help on installing cp210x driver

hi,
after some research i found the way to install cp210x driver . thanks for your help . here are the steps to install for references
modinfo: ERROR: Module cp210x.ko not found.
The Kernel version does not match the Module Version
Kernel Version: 4.9.140-tegra
Module Version:
Would you still like to install the module? [Y/n] y
You may have to force the module to be inserted, i.e.
$ sudo modprobe -f cp210x
[sudo] password for dz:
cp: cannot stat ‘cp210x.ko’: No such file or directory
Installed cp210x Module
from dmesg results it looks like your lidar is connected onto ttyUSB0 correctly . i am not sure on why ultrasimple is not working . in my case i connected it with ROS and was able to visualize the laser scan topic.
