Just some extra ways of saying what the above is:

  • If the micro-B USB cable is connected and the host PC allows the use of the virtual wired ethernet device, then:
  1. Host can ping itself with “ping 192.168.55.100” (since this is the host PC address).
  2. Host can ping the Jetson with “ping 192.168.55.1” (since this is the Jetson address).
  3. Jetson can ping itself with “ping 192.168.55.1” (since this is the Jetson address).
  4. Jetson can ping host with “ping 192.168.55.100” (since this is the host PC address).
  5. Running “ifconfig” on host PC will show an interface with address “192.168.55.100” if the micro-B USB virtual wired ethernet connection is allowed.
  6. Running “ifconfig” on the Jetson will show an interface with address “192.168.55.1” regardless of whether or not the host PC allows the connection (since this is local to the Jetson).
  7. Not seeing an interface on the host PC with address “192.168.55.100” implies either the USB is not connected to a running Jetson, or else the host has not allowed the connection and the MAC address needs to be allowed with host side software.
