Jetson Development

Logging in to the Jetson and getting its IP

You will need to have minicom installed. On Ubuntu, it can be installed with sudo apt install minicom.

1. Connect your computer to the Jetson via USB-C.
2. Connect the Jetson to ethernet.
3. On your own computer’s terminal:
   • run sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyACM0
   • run minicom --device /dev/ttyACM0
   • You will see a login prompt in minicom. Use the same login that we use for the Linux laptop.
4. While logged into the Jetson in minicom:
   • run ifconfig
   • Note the value under enP8p1s0 -> inet, e.g. 192.168.1.129. Copy this value.

Now, you can connect to the Jetson using VNC or VSCode.

Connecting to the Jetson via VNC

Follow the steps outlined in Connecting to VNC service from another computer.

Connecting to the Jetson via VSCode Remote SSH

You will need the Remote - SSH extension.

1. Open the command palette with Ctrl + Shift + P.
2. Select Remote-SSH: Connect to Host...
3. Log in as grizzly@your_inet, replacing your_inet with the value you copied.
4. Type the password when prompted.
