There are three ways to connect to the Nvidia Jetson from the host computer:
Micro-USB cable connection through SSH
Micro-USB cable connection through serial terminal (PuTTY)
Wireless connection through SSH
Connect the USB cable from the host computer to the micro-USB port on DroneCore.Pilot marked as USB_DEV
Power on the board and wait till Jetson boots
Open the terminal on the Linux host computer
Type ssh [email protected] (dcs_user is default username)
Enter password (default password = dronecore)
The user is now remotely connected to the Jetson terminal
Wi-Fi card with antennas must be assembled on the board. (M2 WIFI cards verified: Intel AC-9260NGW, Intel AC-8265NGW)
Power on the board and wait till Jetson boots
Create Wi-Fi hotspot with SSID: DCS_wifi, PASSWORD: dronecore
Find this Wi-Fi network and connect to it from the Linux host PC
Open the terminal on the host PC and type ssh [email protected] (dcs_user is the default username)
Enter the password (default password = dronecore)
The user is now remotely connected to the Jetson terminal
NOTE: if Jetson is not in access-point mode but connected to existing Wi-Fi network, the user must know the IP address of Jetson in that network and connect to this IP ssh [email protected]
Connect USB cable from the host computer to the micro-USB port on DroneCore.Pilot marked as USB_DEV
Power on the board and wait till Jetson boots
Open a serial terminal program (putty, teraterm, gtkterm etc.) on a Linux or Windows host PC
Open the corresponding port (Jetson is commonly identified as ttyACM0 on the Ubuntu host PC)
Enter the user name of the user (DCS_user is the default username)
Enter the password (default password = dronecore)
The user is now remotely connected to the Jetson terminal
