Jetson Tx2 flashing completed but gets stucked at determining the IP address of target

I was flashing my Tx2, I came across many issues after solving all of them
it finished Flashing OS but it’s getting stuck at determining the IP address of the target.

Can someone please guide me further ?

Thanks

Hi, this is the wrong forum for your issue. Moving this to the Jetson TX2 forum for support.

Hi kgupta3,

After finished flashing OS, you can start install sdk components.
Please connect micro-usb cable or Ethernet cable on your TX2, then enter your device mode address (192.168.55.1) or eth0 IP address and username/password, then it will start install sdk components.

Hello,

I am unable to find the IP address of my jetson. I tried using ifconfig, but there was nothing connected to it.
By the use of Micro-USB you mean that we don’t need to connect the Jetson Tx2 with the ethernet switch/ lan ?

Hi kgupta3,

I means, you can use below two way to install sdk components:

  • Using device mode address (192.168.55.1): connect micro-usb cable on TX2
  • Using eth0 IP address: please connect LAN cable on TX2 and using ifconfig to check eth0 IP address.

Hello,

When using ifconfig I am trying to check the IP address on my target device while connecting it to LAN, I don’t found any eth0 IP address there.
That is the main issue right now I am facing.

Hi kgupta3,

What JetPack version are yo using?
Please also share the “ifconfig” output logs. Thanks!

Hi,

I am using Jetpack 3.0
Board is not detecting Ethernet wired connection in my understanding.

Here is my log

Hi kgupta3,

Is your LAN port working before?
Please also attached dmesg logs. Thanks!

Hello,

Yes, it was blinking when I was Flashing the OS but after that there was no light.
I checked my LAN it was working on another computer.

I created the log file, but can you suggest me a way I can share it with you as there’s no internet connection to TX2.

For reference, I can attach images but since I am new user it doesn’t allow me to upload more than 1 picture.

nvidia.docx (2.1 MB)

Here I am uploading the document in which I have attached all the images in a sequence.

Hi,

Please try to use serial console log or use a sdcard or usb drive to copy your log out of device.

Hello,

Here is the log file.
dmesglog.txt (74.2 KB)

There is kernel panic from ethernet controller driver.

This kind of issue is rare. Is this a customer carrier board or devkit?

Could you do some cross comparison for this issue to identify if this is hardware issue or software issue?

For example, downgrade to rel-28.3 and flash this board again. or using other carrier board to test this module.

Hello,

It’s a Development Kit, I bought this 2 days back from Amazon.

Can you please explain elaborately n how to do cross comparison ?

Hi,

Can you please explain elaborately n how to do cross comparison ?

This is not a special term. I just want you to try different software and hardware (if possible).
For example, you could flash old release and see if that can work.

Hello,

I would like to know does the older release support the GPU Coder (MATLAB Lib) as I am deploying my MATLAB code to Jetson Tx2 using GPU Coder.

As it is mentioned there that -
NVIDIA® GPU enabled for CUDA with compute capability 3.2 or higher

Does lower version of Jetpack have CUDA with 3.2 or higher ?

Hi,

It has chance your device has hardware defect and we want to check that first.
This topic is just for this purpose and you should not worry about something like CUDA now.

I am not asking you to keep using older release. What we want to verify is if this is a software problem or a hardware problem.

If old release can have ethernet work, then it may indicate hardware has no problem. We should be back to latest release and see what is going on. That is what we are trying to do, ok?

Hello,

So I

tried installing Jetpack 4.2 through SDK Manager.
But it failed
1- I don’t know but Computer vision didn’t downloaded through that.
2- I didn’t get any target screen after flashing is it because
