Connecting the Platform

Before making any connections, ensure the platform is not connected to the AC power supply. Failure to do so may damage the platform.

To connect the platform

1. Verify that the latch on the vehicle harness cable is in the open position.

2. Connect the harness cable to the harness connector on the platform.

3. Lock the harness by placing the latch into the closed position.

4. Ensure the MCU programming switch is set to the RUN position.

5. Connect the power supply IN connector on the vehicle cable harness to the matching power supply connection on the platform.

6. Connect the KL 15 ignition banana plug to the corresponding red jack located on the vehicle cable harness.

To connect a display, keyboard, and mouse to Xavier A

1. Connect an HDMI cable from the monitor to the back of the platform at Xavier A HDMI port 1.

2. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to Xavier USB 3.0 ports 1 and 2.

Alternatively, to use one USB 3.0 port, connect the keyboard and mouse to the provided USB 3.0 hub.

Note:

The Ubuntu desktop is no longer provided in the DRIVE OS release. See the X11 Window System chapter under Window Systems for information on manually starting the X server to run X11 samples, or see the relevant sections on NvMedia and Graphics samples to run Wayland or EGL samples.

To connect a display, keyboard, and mouse to Xavier B

1. Connect an HDMI cable from the monitor to the back of the platform at Xavier B HDMI port.

2. Connect a USB 3.0 hub to the Xavier B USB 3.0 port.

3. Connect the keyboard and mouse to the USB 3.0 hub.

To connect to the Linux host

• Connect the USB 2.0 Type A to Type A cable from the Linux host system to the USB 2.0 debug port on the platform.

Note:

To secure the NVIDIA DRIVE platform from unauthorized access, update the default password and username on pre-flashed boards immediately after flashing and prior to enabling any network access. Follow the steps from Changing the Default Target Username and Password.

To enable network access

1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable either port on the Dual GbE dongle.

2. Connect the HSD cable of the Dual GbE dongle to one of the 1 Gbps HSD Ethernet Ports.

Consult the Front Panel image to locate one of the 1 Gbps HSD Ethernet Ports.

3. Connect the dongle power supply to the dual GbE dongle and plug it into an AC outlet.
