Hello,
I wanted to install my Jetson Nano using the headless mode as describe in : Getting Started With Jetson Nano Developer Kit | NVIDIA Developer
Unfortunately when I connected the USB cable between my PC and my Jetson nothing appears on my PC. I tried different cable and also on Linux and on Windows but it didn’t work. So I have decided to use my Jetson in the classic mode. I have noticed that when I launch my Jetson the same error message always display :
[FAILED] Failed to start Configure USB flashing port for device mode.
And I have done several test and the USB keep not working.
Does anyone have an idea ?
Thank you in advance
Hi,
What kind of usb not works here? Usb devices like mouse/keyboard or only the usb device mode to your PC?
If usb mouse/keyboard is not working now, I would suggest you can use the UART to access the board and dump the log for us.
Hi,
It’s the USB mode. I have no issues concerning the usb mouse/keyboard
Ok, then could you use mouse/keyboard + HDMI monitor to operate your jetson nano.
Run below command and share the result.
nvidia@nvidia-desktop:~$ sudo systemctl status nv-l4t-usb-device-mode
It give me this :

What will be printed if you reboot the device and directly run this ?
sudo /opt/nvidia/l4t-usb-device-mode/nv-l4t-usb-device-mode-start.sh
It print this :
opt/nvidia/l4t-usb-device-mode/nv-l4t-usb-device-mode-start.sh: line 127: echo: write error: Invalid argument
Which software release are you using?
I’m using Ubuntu 20.04
I mean the jetpack release on jetson.
I don’t know I have installed the Jetson Nano image on this tutorial : https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/learn/get-started-jetson-nano-devkit#write
Oh ok. Jetpack4.5.1.
Does below patch exist on your jetson nano?
/sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/l4t/functions/rndis.usb0/host_addr
If no, then does “/sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/” exist?
Yes the first one exist and there is a MAC address inside.
Ok, then we do below command to clean up previous setup first and try again and see what error would be.
sudo /opt/nvidia/l4t-usb-device-mode/nv-l4t-usb-device-mode-stop.sh
sudo /opt/nvidia/l4t-usb-device-mode/nv-l4t-usb-device-mode-start.sh
It’s the same error that last time :
sudo /opt/nvidia/l4t-usb-device-mode/nv-l4t-usb-device-mode-stop.sh

I think I got this error before. I think that time I need to delete
/opt/nvidia/l4t-usb-device-mode/mac-addresses
and reset the Nano then it works again.
Can you upload your /opt/nvidia/l4t-usb-device-mode as a tarball here to see if it is modified somehow?

Thanks for your response !
So I delete the file like you said and then I reboot and try to connect to my PC and it didin’t work…
I have done a tarball before and after I have deleted the file and I notice that before the mac-addresses file was empty and then it has data written inside. I upload the two tarball maybe you will notice something after.tar (34.6 KB) before.tar (32.9 KB)
Does the script still say the error is on line 127?
Yes it says :
/opt/nvidia/l4t-usb-device-mode/nv-l4t-usb-device-mode-start.sh: line 127: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
