Does the Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit support Auto MDI-X on the onboard Ethernet port?

Hi NVIDIA Team,

I am using a Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit running JetPack 6

I am trying to connect a SIYI ZT6 camera directly to the onboard Gigabit Ethernet port for RTSP streaming.

The camera has the IP address 192.168.144.25, and I configured the Jetson Ethernet interface with a static IP of 192.168.144.30/24.

However, when connected directly:

  • ip a shows NO-CARRIER
  • ethtool reports “Link detected: no”
  • Ping to 192.168.144.25 fails

I verified that the same camera and Ethernet cable work correctly with

  • Ubuntu 22.04 laptop (direct connection)
  • Raspberry Pi (direct connection)
  • Jetson through a Gigabit router as switch
  • Jetson using a USB-to-Gigabit Ethernet adapter

In all these cases, I can successfully ping the camera and receive the RTSP video stream.

I also found the following NVIDIA forum post stating that the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit does not support Auto MDI-X

My question is,

Does the Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit also lack Auto MDI-X support on its onboard Ethernet interface, or is there another reason for the direct-link failure?

If Auto MDI-X is not supported, is using a Gigabit switch or a USB Ethernet adapter the recommended workaround?

Thank you.

According to the provided context, specifically the Jetson AGX Orin HW FAQ section, it is mentioned that the 10G Ethernet PHY supports P/N correction automatically, which implies that Auto MDI-X is supported on the Jetson AGX Orin. However, this information is not explicitly stated for the Jetson Orin Nano.

Given the context provided, there is no clear information about the Jetson Orin Nano supporting Auto MDI-X on its onboard Ethernet port. The question about the Jetson Orin Nano’s support for Auto MDI-X remains unanswered based on the provided documentation.

To resolve the issue of connecting the SIYI ZT6 camera directly to the onboard Gigabit Ethernet port, using a Gigabit switch or a USB Ethernet adapter, as mentioned, seems to be a workaround that has been successful in similar scenarios. However, without explicit confirmation of Auto MDI-X support on the Jetson Orin Nano, the direct reason for the failure in the direct connection attempt remains speculative.

Therefore, the answer to whether the Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit lacks Auto MDI-X support on its onboard Ethernet interface cannot be conclusively determined from the provided context. Further investigation or consultation of additional resources specific to the Jetson Orin Nano would be necessary to provide a definitive answer.
