I only copied part of the log that I think would be useful for debugging. I’m using JetPack L4T 3.1. What is the problem here?

Best regards,

Usually the first question is if you were using a native Linux install, or if there is anything special about it, e.g., a VM or live DVD. You would also want to be sure that there is no HUB or other intervening issue on the USB side. Can you describe your host and physical cabling to the Jetson (the USB side)?
