Hi,
I want to enable device mode for the USB 3.0 port on TX2.
But I was not able to find any threads to enable the same.
I found posts [url]https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/952472/jetson-tx1/jtx1_usb_as-device/2[/url] to do the same on TX1. But I do not understand the patches, so I would need help to port these patches to work for TX2. If someone has a working patch for TX2, please do share it.
Any help is appreciated :)
I could be wrong, but I believe the full-sized connectors cannot be used as device mode. These are type-A, and only a type-B is technically valid as a device. The micro-OTG port has the ability to use either a micro-A or a micro-B connector, but there is a detect pin on this for the system to know which type is plugged in. The full-sized connectors have no such pin. Someone else would have to answer as to whether this could be forced (you’d have to make an invalid custom cable with type-A to type-A and cut the +5V line).
If you are building your own custom carrier board, then that is a different story.
This thread talks about using both the micro USB and USB 3.0 port to run USB 3.0 in device mode for TX1.

I am trying to find out if something similar is possible on TX2.
The micro-USB is wired to allow device mode, the full-size type-A ports are not wired for that. The micro-USB port is not wired for USB3. You would probably have to create your own carrier board.

It is quick solution for verifiying the functionality on developer kit. As @linuxdev suggests, please have your own custom board with standard USB ports.
