Getting Started Guide

The PCIe-NX150 Series, i.e., PCIe-NX154PoE or PCIe-NX156U3, is already flashed with the pre-built system image on Jetson Orin module and NVMe. This guide provides the essential steps to help you build the first running sample.

The guide is divided into several topics:

  • Overview

  • Develop PCIe-NX150 in the standalone mode

  • Develop PCIe-NX150 with a host computer

Overview

Before powering on the PCIe-NX150 series, the first thing you have to check is the 4-Pin DIP Switch.

  • DIP Switch #4 determines PCIe-NX150 is powered on by 2x3 wafer (12V DC input), or by the PCIe connector

  • DIP Switch #3 determines PCIe-NX150 booted into OS or recovery mode

  • DIP Switch #1 & DIP Switch #2 determine the default IP while PCIe-NX150 booted into OS

Develop PCIe-NX150 in the standalone mode

  • Make sure the DIP Switch #4 ON, DIP Switch #3 OFF to boot PCIe-NX150 into OS with external DC input

  • Remember to connect to a monitor with native DP input

    • An active DP to HDMI adapter is required while connecting to an HDMI monitor

  • Powered on PCIe-NX150 by external 12V DC input

  • Then you can use PCIe-NX150 as a standalone Jetson computer

Develop PCIe-NX150 with a host computer

  • Requirements of the host computer

    • PCIe slot with Gen2x1 signal

    • Windows or Ubuntu with Intel i225 driver support

      • Our testing environment is Ubuntu 20.04.06

  • Before accommodating PCIe-NX150 into the host computer, make sure DIP Switch #4 OFF, DIP Switch #3 OFF to power PCIe-NX150 by the PCIe connector of the host computer

  • By default, DIP Switch #1 OFF, DIP Switch #2 OFF lead to the network settings on the Orin NX side, with

    • IP: 150.150.50.50

    • Netmask: 255.255.255.0

  • Network settings on the host computer

    • Make sure the Intel i225 on the host side has be recognized by lspci 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 0d9f (rev 03)

    • Config the Intel i225 with

      • IP: 150.150.50.51

      • Netmask: 255.255.255.0

  • Then you can connect to PCIe-NX150 by ssh Account: nvidia Password: nvidia

  • The PCIe-NX150 also shipped with CUDA installed

Since PCIe-NX150 is a Jetson computer as a PCIe form factor, please remember to send "sudo shutdown" to PCIe-NX150 before shutting down the host computer.
