DJI PSDK USB Bulk configuration

I’m following this guide to use the Jetson Orin Nano (JP6) as a companion computer for the DJI PSDK(DJI M300). My connections are as described in the guide. but I’m having a hard time with the usb bulk configuration.

According to the guide. I have to download a startup bulk folder that contains the configuration files for the usb-device.

I changed the file so that the paths of bulk1 and bulk2 are:
/home/bon/Desktop/startup_bulk/startup_bulk /dev/usb-ffs/bulk1
/home/bon/Desktop/startup_bulk/startup_bulk /dev/usb-ffs/bulk2
(bon is my user)

sudo cp startup_bulk/psdk-usb-configure.sh  /opt/nvidia/l4t-usb-device-mode-start.sh

psdk-usb-configure.sh

exit 0

but after the restart when i run this

ps -aux | grep startup_bulk

i get

bon         7574  0.0  0.0  11156  2152 pts/0    S+   10:34   0:00 grep --color=auto startup_bulk

I understand that I should see both paths /dev/usb-ffs/bulk1 and /dev/usb-ffs/bulk2 but that is not the case.

Reading the file i see that is trying to use either 700d0000.xudc or 3550000.xudc but none of those are in /sys/class/udc/ (where the script tries to find it) I only have 3550000.usb

my question is. should i have 700d0000.xudc or 3550000.xudc in /sys/class/udc/ or am i missing something else?

this is the status of the usb-device-mode

this is the tegra release information:
head -n 1 /etc/nv_tegra_release

R36 (release), REVISION: 3.0, GCID: 36191598, BOARD: generic, EABI: aarch64, DATE: Mon May 6 17:34:21 UTC 2024

ok im a bit confused now. I removed the configuration. avoided the usb otg adapter. connected the eport to the usbA of the jetson. run the example with sudo and it works. maybe not that fast but it works. Ill try to update on that later

Hi,
Looks like the platform is Jetson Nano instead of Jetson Orin Nano. Not sure if the same steps can be applied to Orin Nano. We would suggest check with the vendor for further help.

Hello! Did you connect the UART TX RX pins of the Eport to USB-A of the jetson using some FTDI or did you use a USB-C to USB-A cable to connect the USB output of the Eport to a USB-A port of the jetson. I was able to connect the UART outputs to the jetson and now simple features like widget, flight control, etc work. but I need to be able to subscribe the images from the drone using the USB-C output. I am using Matrice M3TD drone with a jetson Orin nano but the DJI_USE_UART_AND_USB_BULK_DEVICE setting doesn’t work. Only DJI_USE_ONLY_UART works so far.
