Im using SDK Manager to install Jetpack 6 onto my Orin NX 16GB. During the installation, using the GUI, for Connection Type I can select USB or Ethernet. If using USB, it asks for an IP address (of the jetson?) but from my understanding IP really only applies to networking, so that would be ethernet, right? USB is a direct conneciton.
Hello John,
Hope you are doing great.
The reason why it asks you for an IP address is because the Jetson sets up a OTG connection with the host PC.
Through this connection you can interact with the embedded using an IP address the device sets up.
The IP address will most likely be 192.168.55.1, as it is the default.
You should be able to interact with the board through that IP address as you would through a regular Ethernet connection.
I hope that answers your question, however, feel free to reach out if you require further help.
regards,
Andrew G.

I will add that during flash there is no networking since the Jetson is a custom USB device. It is when flash completes that the Jetson automatically reboots (and becomes fully booted). At this point the optional software, e.g., CUDA, is installed over ssh. Your flash completed, but not the optional content.

Okay, I think the USB option is for reverse USB Tethering, so the Jetson can be on the network (and listen for SSH traffic from the host) even without an ethernet plugged in.
