First Boot

Initial Setup:

Follow this guide in order to get through the Jetson's initial setup.

Connecting to your Jetson

• Make sure to remove the jumper that says "ADD JUMPER TO DISABLE USB POWER" that's just behind the barrel jack

• Insert your SD card under the heatsink

• Plug your jetson into the PC

• Start PuTTy

• Go to device manager, and find out what port your Jetson is on

Look under Ports ( COM & LPT ). My Jetson enumerated as COM4

• Back in PuTTY, choose serial.

• Choose the COM port you found above for the Serial line, and 115200 as speed.

• Click "Open"

• You should now see the Jetson's Terminal

All the navigation here on out will be done via your keyboard when using PuTTY

• Hit enter

• Scroll through agreement and hit enter

Setting your locale:

• Choose English for your language

• Choose US for your country

• Select your timezone

• Allow clock to be set to UTC

Creating your account:

• Enter a name, such as your school's name

• Choose a username, I chose "vrc"

• Choose a password

• When asked about resizing the partition, hit enter

Connecting to the Internet:

If your school has a guest WiFi network, choose that. Otherwise, if your school has a hard-line ethernet jack you can use, choose ethernet.

Either way, your Jetson needs a connection to the internet.

Setting the Power Mode

• Choose the "maxn" power mode

Now your Jetson is ready for the next step!

That's it! You've completed basic setup of your Jetson!
