Software Setup on the Linux Host

Note: Connect the USB cable from USB 2 Port on NVIDIA DRIVE Orin to the host system.

Setting Up and Configuring Minicom

For detailed information, see using Minicom.

  1. If Minicom is not installed, install it with the command.

    sudo apt-get install minicom
  2. Configure Minicom on the host as follows.
    sudo minicom –s
  3. From the configuration dialog, select Serial port setup.

  4. Define the configuration as follows:

    • Serial Device: /dev/ttyUSB0
    • Lockfile location: /var/lock
    • Bps/Par/Bits: 115200 8N1
    • Hardware Flow Control: No
    • Software Flow Control: No

  5. Save the setup as the default setup.
  6. Launch Minicom for a specific device using the –D option.

    • For P3663

      sudo minicom –D /dev/ttyUSB1
      • ttyUSB0 for NVIDIA DRIVE Orin X1

      • ttyUSB1 for AURIX

      Note: The USB[X] will be assigned based on which is plugged in first to the host. The previous configuration is just an example.
    • For P3710

      sudo minicom –D /dev/ttyACM1
      • ttyACM0 for NVIDIA DRIVE Orin X1
      • ttyACM1 for AURIX
  7. Query the relevant serial devices on the host system with the command.
    • For P3663
      dmesg | grep ttyUSB
    • For P3710
      dmesg | grep ttyACM
