How to Communicate with Jetson NX on PCIe-GL26

We try to list the possible way to communicate with the Jetson NX as follows.

  1. Standalone usage. Put PCIe-GL26 into "powered by external 12V DC" mode. Then, you can operate PCIe-GL26 as an NX computer with DisplayPort, 1Gb Ethernet, and 2x USB for a mouse and a keyboard.

  2. While using PCIe-GL26 inside the host machine

    1. If you haven't installed the 10GbE NIC camera driver or set the static IP, you can use a USB to micro USB cable to connect to NX from the host machine via ssh nvidia@192.168.55.1

    2. If you have installed the 10GbE camera driver and set the static IP properly, you can use connect to NX from the host machine via ssh nvidia@26.26.50.50 . The static IP changed based on the board ID configuration.

  3. The RS232 inside the 8-pin / 10-pin terminal block on the PCIe bracket can be enabled as a debug UART, which can be enabled by following this guide.

Does PCIe-GL26 require a Special Power Sequence from the Host Machine?

In short. No.

PCIe-GL26 is treated as a 10Gb Network card from the host side. After the NX booted into OS, the host machine can communicate with 10GbE via the internal 10GbE link.

Accessory Box

  • If you use PCIe-GL26 in a Cassette, e.g,., (Nuvo-9000E, Nuvo-2600E), it is recommended to paste the Prono on heatsink of PCIe-GL26 to provide a secured PCIe connection.

  • If you are using multiple PCIe-GL26, please use the 2mm stand off to guarantee the distance between PCIe-GL26.
