Issue Connecting Nvidia Drive AGX with Display

Dear NVIDIA Team,

I have flashed my NVIDIA Drive AGX (Pegasus) platform, but after powering it on, the display remains black. I understand that after flashing, the platform needs to be configured using Putty, which I have installed on my PC. So far, I have only used the USB3 cable (Debug port from NVIDIA <----> USB3 port on my PC), but I would like to confirm if a serial cable is required for communication between the PC and the NVIDIA platform for configuration. If so, could you please advise which serial cable is needed and where it should be connected on the platform?

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Dear @zizzi,
May I know the DRIVE release version?
Is the flashing successful ? Are you to access Aurix /Tegra console using minicom ?
Also, please see Install DRIVE with SDK Manager :: DRIVE Platform Installation Guide with NVIDIA SDK Manager if you have flashed DRIVE OS 5.2.6

Hello @SivaRamaKrishnaNV ,

I have installed Drive OS 5.2.6, and the flashing was successful (see image)

Additionally, I can establish a connection to both Aurix and Tegra (see images).

I followed the instructions for installing the desktop, but unfortunately, it was not successful. My screen still shows nothing, and it is not receiving any signal.

Dear @zizzi ,
could you check systemctl status display-manager ?

hallo @SivaRamaKrishnaNV
I ran the systemctl status display-manager command, but it seems that no GUI is installed (please refer to the terminal screenshot).

I’m not sure how to proceed from here.

Additionally, I searched for “Driveworks” on my target device, but it doesn’t appear to be installed as I checked the /usr/local directory and couldn’t find it.

Do you have any suggestions on how to move forward?

Dear @zizzi ,
Is gdm3 installed? Can you check gdm3 status?
For driveworks, you need to install it seperately. please check for driveworks 4.0 ta file under DRIVE OS 5.2.6 release at DRIVE Downloads | NVIDIA Developer.
