Very grateful for your last session on using headless setup on my laptop to setup my JN. During the process my network had problem with DHCP server, I am still trying to troubleshoot this problem. Nonetheless, I got in and am so happy!
Hi Jim, Thank you for your informative video. I am trying the version with windows and Ethernet. when I want to connect through Putty and COM port, I get Error: " Error reading from serial device". Then if I restart putty session it seems that setup has been done! here I see this in terminal: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS localhost.localdomain ttyGS0 localhost login: I flashed the card again and again, but the same error happens. Could you please help me to figure out what the problem is? Thanks
For those who are not seeing any data over the USB's emulated serial port, I found a power cycle got it up and running for some reason. This is with the Jetpack 4.6.1 image.
I have tried to do the initial headless setup (Windows 10) without using an ethernet cable (beginner mistakes) and went up to a point where I had to press OK for the setup to begin (I don't think the screen at 19:35 for the network configuration showed up). I powered the system off to restart the process, but now every time I connect my microUSB cable, my PC doesn't recognise it in the Device Manager > Ports. I tried logging in using Putty but it doesn't work. So now basically my PC doesn't recognise the Jetson Nano after I plug in the micro USB cable and the DC barell jack. Any help, please!?
I follow your steps but can't see ttyACM1, i'm using Nano4GB with Jetpack 4.5 and Ubuntu 20.04 desktop. Is there any different method on Jetpack 4.5? Please guide
Your tutorial about headless running was especially useful today. I am waiting for the delivery of a new camera, the e-CAM30. for the Jetson Nano. And the installation instructions for the e-CAM30 seem much like your tutorial here,. Should be an interesting task. (I wonder if I should combine the two tasks?) If you were doing the instructions for installing the e-CAM30 it would be easier. Your tutorial on running on USB was clear enough that I figured it out in less than a week or two (I'm well into the senior age). And headless running on Ethernet could mean ditching the m.2 SATA wifi, and instead using the Jetson Nano's m.2 SATA port to host an m.2 NVMe cable - $20 or so plus the cost of an NVMe card. If it works.
Different distributions can be challenging. If you are running headless (and there's none of extra GUI stuff, the space taken is much smaller), I'm not quite sure the extra work is worth the effort.

What about using Remote Desktop? Is there a way to set up the Jetson Nano headless with the GUI desktop using Remote Desktop? I have all my Raspberry Pies set up this way and would like to set up a Jetson Nano this way as well. Thanks.
I have been using nano for a while using monitor and keyboard. How can I change to headless setup in my laptop? I don't want to loose the initial libraries installed. Do I need to start all over again with flashing the image and booting the nano all over again.
@@JetsonHacks I did not but it was because my SD card was not entirely plugged in. Kind of embarrassing haha. Thanks for the tutorial! It was super helpful.
Nice one Jim! May I ask you a question? Here goes it: Is there a GPIO port in Nano that outputs 1/on when power hits in and I can disable it (0/off) after boot is completed?
Thank you for the kind words. I'm not sure how that would work, as the machine is not running when the power turns on. You should ask the question in the official NVIDIA Jetson Nano Forum where a large group of developers may have words of advice. Thanks for watching!

I'm running linux on a windows 10 laptop and I'm getting some errors in my terminal when I input "ls /dev/ttyACM*". The error reads: ls: cannot access '/dev/ttyACM*: not a directory". Is this a connection problem or did I not setup something correctly?
thanks a lot for yet another awesome guide. I have it all up and running, though it's painfully slow to react. specifically it's slow on returning to my Mac that I use to control Jetson - if I press a button on a Mac - it executes almost immediately on Jetson and I see it on the attached screen, but it takes a few seconds to show up back on a Mac. Any ideas on making vino snappier?

The Jetson Nano requires 5V. Typically people use some type of voltage regulator. You also have to take into consideration the power draw of the Jetson. The power supply provides 5V 4A. It will depends on your use case and accessories you attach to the Jetson as to how much current it draws. Thanks for watching!
