We are working with Jetson TX2 board with Ubuntu 18.04 Host. First TX2 was setup in recovery mode and then followed the SDK manager's step1 2 and 3. At the end of successful flashing it errors out as device not detected (with refresh option). Attached the log file. Could you please help us to figure out the issue.
After flashing tried with power cycle of TX2 to board to bootup (with separate monitor and keyboard but both are not getting connected with TX2). Also tried the same steps in multiple times with Host restart but the issue remains the same.
Followed your steps and now stuck with login issue. Checked & followed Chatgpt steps but the issue remains the same.
Now the problem is once TX2 start booting up it hangs at login step. At this moment whatever we enter through keyboard is not getting accepted. Tried with default login as ubuntu, but no success. It stuck at the login prompt itself. Uploaded the login screen messages.
Just to clarify. I am just asking you to dump log. I didn’t give you any magic to resolve anything yet. Don’t expect issue would just resolve by dumping out a log.
Are you trying to type the keyboard on the host PC or you are talking about a USB keyboard on your Jetson?
Also, there is not default user on Jetpack. The login prompt user name/ password are all set by you. Did you remember to set that thing when flashing the board? Or that thing never happened?
At the very first login, entered the credentials that were set during flashing. Since it was not working tried with some others. Keyboard connected to TX2 is not getting power. Entering login through Host PC keyboard only. Still facing the same issue of stuck at login phase.
Are you using a custom board or NV devkit? Or you are not sure about what does my question mean here?
Are you talking about even using “enter” on the console won’t give any response to you? If so, then I think your UART serial console setting has problem there. Please review if the wiring is correct.
Verified the minicom setting: 115200 8N1, software control, no hardware control. and ttyUSB0
Using TX2 Developer Kit
Yes, on the console when it prompts
ubuntu login: whatever key entry at this point is not at all working. It hangs forever here.
Attached the latest log file here. log.txt (34.4 KB)
Sorry for the inconvenience, yesterday I forgot to do the pipe command to log file, So manually copied the log through mouse selection. By mistake the last two lines that you were mentioning were missed. Even now the status remains the same.
Yes, after this prompt whatever I enter (ESC key or enter key or user name, password) it doesn’t respond. Now entering credentials through Host PC keyboard, still Keyboard & monitor connected to TX2 are still blank.
The UART console has no special software for it. If it cannot work, I would only expect a hardware broken (cable/ pin) .
You could also interrupt in other part of boot stage too and see if your UART console can work or not. For example, below U-boot stage ("Hit any key bot stop autoboot: "). But I guess it would still fail on your side.
Tried multiple times, at the time of auto boot prompt (it counts like 3 2 1), hitting any key doesn’t do any difference. It still proceeds further and end at the login prompt.
Is there any checkpoints to validate the board is fine.
