Having trouble to ssh to AGX Orin After flashing JetPack Linux r35.6.1

I have followed Flash Initrd guide and able to finish flash JetPack Linux R35.6.1 onto AGX Orin. I tried to connect ethnet cable and ehtnernet light does not turn on. Is there any way to configure AGX Orin with ethernet connection so I can ssh to it?

Thank you

I’d be happy to help you troubleshoot the Ethernet connection on your Jetson AGX Orin.

Firstly, congratulations on successfully flashing JetPack Linux R3561 onto your AGX Orin!

To configure the Ethernet connection on your AGX Orin, you can try the following steps:

  1. Check the Ethernet cable connection: Ensure that the Ethernet cable is properly connected to the AGX Orin’s Ethernet port and the other end is connected to a router or switch.
  2. Verify the Ethernet configuration: After flashing the JetPack Linux image, the Ethernet configuration might not be enabled by default. You can try to enable it by editing the jetson-agx-orin-devkit.conf file.

Open the jetson-agx-orin-devkit.conf file in a text editor and add the following line:

ODMDATA="gbe-uphy-config-22,nvhs-uphy-config-1,hsio-uphy-config-0,gbe0-enable-10g,hsstp-lane-map-3";

This line enables the Ethernet configuration.

Save the changes and reflash the device using the flash.sh command:

sudo ./flash.sh jetson-agx-orin-devkit mmcblk0p1
  1. Check the Ethernet interface: After reflashing the device, check if the Ethernet interface is enabled and configured correctly. You can use the ifconfig command to check the Ethernet interface:
ifconfig eth0

This should display the Ethernet interface configuration, including the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.

If the Ethernet interface is not enabled, you can try to enable it manually using the ifconfig command:

sudo ifconfig eth0 up
  1. Configure the IP address: If the Ethernet interface is enabled, but you’re not getting an IP address, you can try to configure the IP address manually. You can use the ifconfig command to set the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway:
sudo ifconfig eth0 <ip_address> netmask <subnet_mask> gateway <gateway_ip>

Replace <ip_address>, <subnet_mask>, and <gateway_ip> with the desired values.

  1. Check the SSH connection: Once you’ve configured the Ethernet connection and IP address, you should be able to connect to your AGX Orin using SSH. Use the ssh command to connect to your AGX Orin:
ssh <username>@<ip_address>

Replace <username> with the username you created during the flashing process, and <ip_address> with the IP address you configured.

If you’re still having trouble connecting to your AGX Orin using SSH, you can try to check the SSH configuration on your AGX Orin. You can use the ssh command to check the SSH configuration:

ssh <username>@<ip_address> "cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config"

This will display the SSH configuration file. Check if the SSH server is enabled and configured correctly.

I hope these steps help you configure the Ethernet connection on your AGX Orin and connect to it using SSH. If you’re still having trouble, feel free to provide more details, and I’ll do my best to help you troubleshoot the issue.

Hi,

Some questions to comfirm:

  • Is your AGX orin a dev kit or a custom board?

Thanks

No, it is NVidia AGX Orin board, I am pulling my hair out because if I flash onto internal storage, it works. But if I flash to NVME & Internal storage, it finishes without error and prompt that it is ready. I connect display and keyboard, starts to boot up and goes to blank screen. I am flashing JetPack R35.6.1 using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS via USB
