You are also able connect to the jetson via the USB micro or USB type-c port depending on your jetson model.

Connect your laptop to the jetson and you should be able to ssh with this:

  ssh <username>@192.168.55.1

If nothing connects it may take a while so you can check if the jetson shows up as a device with

  ifconfig

connecting via serial

If ssh though usb does not work then you are able to connect to the jetson with a program like screen or minicom for linux and PuTTY for windows:

run this first command to see if the jetson is connected:

  ls /dev/tty*

Then run one of the following commands to connect:

  screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
# or
minicom -b 115200 -o -D /dev/ttyUSB0
