Jetson nano kiosk mode

Hello,

We have a Jetson nano using a custom board.
We have two applications, one GUI application and the other is a web application. During boot, the webapp and the GUI app starts using the .bash_profile.

After about 10 minutes, the GUI application gives a black screen, and only recovers when we press a key.
I’m thinking it is the power saving options, bu i’m not experienced enough with Ubuntu to disable this.
I’m connecting using SSH, we cannot use a mouse or keyboard using our board.

The Goals:
Run both applications in something like a Kiosk mode.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please execute sudo jetson_clocks and try again. It maximizes most hardware engines at max clocks. You can execute sudo tegrastats to get system status.

Btw, power savings and other modes for the GUI can be configured. I don’t know off hand which setting it is, but the GUI settings have power options for blanking.
