JetsonNano; MicroUSB cannot link to the host computer

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Nano

I need to set the oem-config account and password; I boot the system first time after flush the SD card, follow the steps below;Getting Started With Jetson Nano Developer Kit | NVIDIA Developer

First I use Micro USB cable (only wires, no voltage level exchage) to connect computer (win10), I cannot found the com port, not any response; as shwn below; finally I have try other normal Jetson Nano module, this Micro USB hasn’t response.

Also I connect UART debug poart (with UART to USB transfer card)， and the putty can open this com port to get some start up log.

So the question is why the my Micro USB cannot connect to host PC? (J48 is bridged, use the round connector to power the module; I have try two kits, same result) So I cannot get the oem-config interface. So it must use the MicroUSB to set the oem-config at first startup, Not the debug UART port?!

There is a message showing: USB 1-2-4-port1: Cannot enable, Maybe the USB cable is bad?

I already change a developkit and MicroUSB cable, what’s the possible problem?

Hi,
If you use the developer kit, the micro-B port supports only device mode. If you connect it to host PC, you should see a folder L4T-README popping up. If it does not happen, suggest change the cable for a try.

Hello I have try again with new Micro USB cable ,with newly installed Ubuntu18.04 system, newly flashed SD card, and another develop kit. Inside the J48 is bridged for device mode.
The image I use is according to the operation below: is that correct ?

When I plug the MicroUSB, still haven’t found the “cdc_acm 2-1.7:1.2: ttyACM0: USB ACM device” the USB interface; then I plug the HDMI displayer to the kit, there is a error “USB1-2.4-port1: unable to enumerate the USB device”
below is some sreenshoot, please help to find the problem, really thanks.

@slyinhirain
When you connect the micro USB to your host machine at normal boot,
check whether ‘L4T-README’ is shown and 192.168.55.100 is enabled on your host side.
Micro B USB of the Jetson works mass storage and virtual network.

Hi slyinhirain,

Check your output logs, you need complete system configuration setup on /dev/ttyACMx first.
Please reference below steps:

1. Connect micro-USB cable to J28 port
2. Power on the Jetson-Nano device
3. Check /dev/ttyACM* on your host machine:
    $ ll /dev/ttyACM*
    $ sudo picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyAMC0
      (You can use other debug tools to open)
4. Complete the system configuration setup for first time boot up.

Hello thanks very much; the problem is solved, I change a MicroUSB cable, the UART debug port can be log in with the user name and passward.
Te original one is a ordinary cable, I don’t know why it doesnt work.
