It is a simple task to add a sea of gigabyte goodness to the Jetson Xavier using a NVMe SSD. Looky here: Background One of the nice additions to the Jetson AGX Xavier is a M.2 Key M slot. If you use a Jetson TX1 or Jetson TX2, you know Read more …
It is straightforward to connect an I2C device to a Jetson TX2. Looky here: Background I2C is a straightforward serial protocol. There are usually two wires, one is for transferring data (SDA), the other is a clock which is used to mark the begin and end of data packed (SCL). Read more …
In a post on the NVIDIA Jetson TX1 forum, Wilkins White (Atrer) from Nova Dynamics (ww@novadynamics.com) wrote up a quite wonderful explanation of how to enable SPI on the Jetson TX1. The SPI interface is used in the discussion to interface with a MCP2515 CAN Bus Module (CAN Bus is Read more …
A Serial Console is a useful tool for embedded development, remote access, and those times when the development kit has issues that you need to observe. Here’s a simple approach for adding a serial console. Looky here: Serial Console Background The story of serial data transfer over wires goes back Read more …
Note: This article has been updated for L4T 28.1. See: Develop on SSD – NVIDIA Jetson TX1 and Jetson TX2 This is the third in a series of short articles about running the Jetson TX1 from external storage. This article discusses installing a Samsung SATA SSD on a Jetson TX1, Read more …
This is a the second in a series of short articles about running the Jetson TX1 from external storage. This article discusses copying the contents of the internal flash memory of a NVIDIA Jetson TX1 over to a USB Drive, and then running the Jetson from the USB Drive itself. Read more …
In the previous article on the LIDAR on a Chip, some folks asked if it is possible to run the chip outdoors. Looky here: This is just a short article on how the test was done. The LIDAR on a Chip in this article is a VL53L0X from ST Microelectronics. Read more …
ST Microelectronics recently introduced an inexpensive single chip time of flight sensor. The VL53L0X can be interfaced to a Jetson Development Kit (either TX1 or TK1) over I2C. Looky here: Background The last couple of years have seen a major push towards solid state LIDAR. As autonomous vehicles, robotics and Read more …
In some earlier articles, we installed the Bosch BNO055 on both the NVIDIA Jetson TK1 and Jetson TX1 development kits. However, the explanation for installation on the Jetson TK1 was a little too round about, even by the low bar we set around here. Therefore, here’s a more direct installation Read more …
Another couple of devices that will be needed for upcoming projects on the Jetson TX1 Development Kit are an IMU and a PWM driver for servo control. These devices can be interfaced over I2C. Looky here: Background We have covered using the Bosch IMU BNO055 under ROS and the PWM/Servo Read more …
