ROScube Serial Number Uniqueness and Identification Method

Hello,

I would like to manage multiple ROScube (RQX-59G) devices that I currently own.

At the moment, I am considering using the “serial” field reported by the lshw command as a hardware-specific identifier. However, I would like to confirm whether this value is guaranteed to be unique across devices. Is it ensured that this serial value will not overlap with other ROScube units?

If there is any possibility of duplication, could you please advise on a reliable method to obtain a truly unique identifier for each device?

Thank you for your support.

This ROScube (RQX-59G) is not produced by NVIDIA, it’s by vendor.
Suggest to reach out to them to get the support.

Thank you for your response.

I would like to confirm whether the values obtained using the lshw command on a system equipped with an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin module are guaranteed to be unique across devices.

I would appreciate any clarification you can provide on this.

Hi,
Yes, for each AGX Orin, it has a unique serial number.

Could you please advise on how to check that “unique serial number” from software?

Hi,
You can get it through lshw, or read from EEPROM:

$ sudo i2cdump -f -y 0 0x050

Thank you very much for your response.
I have understood the content.

I look forward to your continued support.
