Hardware Setup
Use these procedures to make any required hardware setup for your customization of the reference platform.
Reference Board Preparation
When developing systems and application software with L4T, you run and test your code on an actual reference platform, such as the NVIDIA® Jetson™ TX1 or TX2 developer kit. Your code targets this hardware directly, rather than a software simulator or emulator.
Accordingly, you must acquire and setup your reference board before using L4T. Consult your board documentation for guidance on setting up and configuring your board.
Although the reference board supports a variety of peripheral devices, start developing on L4T with a board that has the following:
• A USB cable to plug into the board recovery port
Platform Board Layout
The L4T board layout and connections are as follows.
