Nvidia Xavier nx not detect FTDI adapter

I try to interface UM7 imu sensor with Nvidia jetson xavier NX trough USB. I used this FTDI USB adapter. But xavier nx not detect ftdi adapter. I connect it to jetson nano and my laptop, it’s work fine. Also I installed the driver from this site. Still not work.

When i run $ lsusb in Xavier NX

If you monitor “dmesg --follow”, then what extra log lines appear as a result of plugging in the USB device?

When I plugged the device while running “dmesg --follow ” this,
Output:

I used:

  • Jetson Xavier NX
  • Ubuntu 18.04
  • JETPACK VERSION 4.6.2
  • L4T VERSION 32.2.1

That sounds like a signal quality issue (it wouldn’t be a driver or software issue). As a test you might use it with and without an external HUB. Sometimes the HUB-to-device has better quality, as well as HUB-to-Jetson; conversely, direct connect from device to Jetson would have different signal characteristics. Even on otherwise 100% functioning systems R.F. is complicated and will change with minor changes in setup, so it is worth testing this. If not, then someone from NVIDIA might be able to suggest more on USB. I can tell you though that the above is not a software problem, and the device should function on a Jetson.

Thanks for the info. Can you tell me why this command does not run in xavier. dmesg | grep -i FTDI

when I run this in my host machine without any device plugged in, the output looks like this.

When I run dmesg | grep -i FTDI in xavier, nothing happens. What I missed?

USB is a “plug-n-play” communications pipe. This means it can query the end device, and the end device responds with what it is. USB then publishes the specs, and any driver which can handle the device will take ownership. If the USB signal itself is failing, then it means the query may not succeed, and thus no driver knows what the device is. In the case of a USB device plugin which does not have a driver, then you would see the FTDI mentioned from the query stage, possibly then with a note of the driver which loads. If the query itself fails, then there can be no mention of FTDI because the device never responds (at least not in a way which reaches the driver).

This is suspicious of signal quality issues:

[ 2630.646017] usb 1-2.1: Device not responding to setup address.
[ 2630.854023] usb 1-2.1: Device not responding to setup address.
[ 2631.061179] usb 1-2.1: device not accepting address 5, error -71

(note that power delivery issues can also cause such an error)
