Using the BMC#

The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) provides remote management capabilities. You can perform monitoring and management tasks securely and out of band. These include controlling system power, updating firmware, and gathering telemetry. For details about using the BMC, see IGX BMC User Guide.

Put the system into recovery mode#

Putting the system into recovery mode is only necessary when you re-flashing the system.

  1. Access the BMC by using SSH. For details, see BMC Quickstart.

  2. Put the IGX Orin Developer Kit into recovery mode by powerctrl recovery.

    1root@mgx-3809:~# powerctrl recovery
    2Host Power Control
    3Host Recovery…
    4Resetting Host…
    5root@mgx-3809:~#
    
  3. Confirm the IGX Orin Developer Kit is in recovery mode by running lsusb on the re-flash host:

    1$ lsusb | grep NVIDIA
