Jetson AGX Xavier black screen when powered on

Hi,

I was trying to flash my Jetson AGX Xavier yesterday and now whenever I power on the Jetson it doesn’t displaying anything on my monitor. I’ve tried different HDMI cables but I still have a black screen. The white light on the Jetson is on when it’s powered.

I tried to ssh it using a MacBook and this was the output:

(base) ~ % ssh nito@192.168.55.1
ssh: connect to host 192.168.55.1 port 22: Operation timed out

I’m not sure what to do?

Use the UART serial console to capture the log or check the status of the board.

What sort of cable would I need to use so that my Virtual machine can recognise the Jetson, because at the moment I tried using usb-c to usb c and it didn’t work.

I’m trying to flash it again using SDK Manager on the VM’s Ubuntu, but the SDK manager is not detecting the Jetson.

Do not use a VM. Please use a native ubuntu host.

Sorry, I’m new to the scene, what is or some examples of a native Ubuntu host.

I mean please do not use a VM. Use a real ubuntu host…

Alright, so I found a tutorial on how to run ubuntu on windows 10 by booting from a USB-drive to get into the Ubuntu GUI, would that work?

I don’t know what does that mean run on Win10.

You should at least use dual boot.

I have installed ubuntu on windows 10 and it’s now dual booting. However, I’m not sure what to do from here in terms of how do I flash the Jetson AGX Xavier or connect to it. So I can get the NVIDIA startup GUI again, because at the moment when I turn it on I get nothing on the screen.

  1. Download the sdkmanager first
  1. Put the Jetson Xavier into recovery mode

  2. Connect the type C cable between your host and Jetson to the flash port. This document will tell which one is the flash port.

  3. If Jetson is in recovery mode, “lsusb” command on host shall see “Nvidia Corp”.
