/dev/ttyACM0 Isn't There for headless oem-config

This is for a BSP for custom carrier board with Jetson TX2i.
/dev/ttyACM0 does not appear as expected after flashing (for headless oem-config)
Debug UART log indicates that it should be there (see below)
I removed /host1x/nvdisplay@15220000 from the device tree since HDMI is not used.
I am using a VM for development, but headless oem-config works with my setup on a Jetson TX2 development kit.
USB connection is using USB0 as an OTG port, carrierboard does not have a USB1.

Can you help fix this problem? The PC does not detect any new USB devices when I power up the board.

Regards,
Neil

Hello Neil, as a preliminary test, please try the same setup on a host PC running Ubuntu natively. It is important to start debugging by eliminating the possible sources of errors. Are you unable to see ttyACM0 under /dev? What application are you using?

I used “ls /dev/ttyA*” to look for ttyACM0.
In the test with the evalution board I used putty for serial communication.

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue any more.
Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one. Thanks

Would be possible to test setup using a Ubuntu box as Host PC running natively Ubuntu 18.04 or 16.04?
