I am having a hell of a time trying to connect to any of my orin nx modules. Here is my setup: I have 2 boards (2.5) one with 4 RK1's and 1 with 4 Orin NX 16GB. I am trying to connect my windows laptop with a linux 20.04 vmware vm. I am using a USB-A to USB-A data transfer cable. I am able to connect the USB port to the VM however in removable devices, instead of seeing NVIDIA APX I am seeing the he name of the cable itself which is "Ours Smartkmlink" I have gone through the instructions up until the point where I should see nvidia apx with LSUSB, but all I see is
@ubuntu:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0ea0:7301 Ours Technology, Inc. SmartKMLink
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0e0f:0002 VMware, Inc. Virtual USB Hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0e0f:0003 VMware, Inc. Virtual Mouse
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
I thought maybe that's just how it is with this cable and tried to flash the node, but that didn't work. Is it the cable?
Other prep conditions are:
using node 2 in flash mode. I turned the node off, made the change in the BMC gui and then powered it back on
the eeprom size is 0
I ran the binaries and created the default user
the board's firmware is updated to 2.1 (latest)
the USB cable is connected to one of the two horizontal ports in the board. I am also using a case with 2 USB ports in the front that connects to the USB header on the board. I have tried all USB ports to no avail
