Hello.
I would like to know how to use the CLI to deal with a Jetson that can no longer start.
I have rewritten /etc/X11/xorg.conf and Jetson has stopped starting from there.
I can do the home tutorial up to the point where the word [NVIDIA] appears on the screen, but I can’t go any further.
I am thinking that I can start it by restoring the rewritten part of the configuration file, but I don’t know how to do that and I am having trouble.
We consider re-booting from the beginning using SDKmaneger as a last resort.
We asked if there is anything we can do before executing the last resort.
If you have a serial console, then you can connect via command line. For the AGX Xavier that is likely the micro-OTG USB connector left of the 40-pin header, and then connected to a separate host PC. A program like minicom or gtkterm can then “talk” over that at speed 115200, 8 bits, no stop bits, and 1 parity (115200 8N1).
If you are using wired ethernet networking (ssh connects on command line), then that too would still be accessible.
In a worst case you could clone the AGX Xavier, fix the clone on the host PC, and then flash the repaired clone back to the Jetson. This takes a lot of time and disk space. Using ssh to the wired ethernet address is the easiest access, and using the serial console is the most reliable method.
