I am trying to connect my jetson nano to a monitor using a usb to VGA cable, and the monitor is not picking up the display. Is the adaptor the problem? Do I need a monitor with only USB?
Jetsons don’t support a USB video adapter. I suppose if the adapter were an actual video card, and not just a video bridge, and if the driver to the video on the USB device is added, then it might work. However, the integrated GPU cannot do that. For those monitors which are used with the video connector itself older VGA is not supported. Actual HDMI or DisplayPort have a wire which produces the plug-n-play information the GPU needs to talk to that monitor with, and VGA lacks this (the ones which claim to have this use the older EDID protocol, and the Jetsons require the EDID2 protocol, and so there is no VGA monitor which will work).
