Jetson Nano headless fresh setup (WiFi, SSH and VNC) even without a HDMI Display

1- Download image from Jetson Download Center

  • Write Image to the microSD Card: steps
  • Initial Setup Headless Mode: steps

  • Insert the microSD card (with system image already written to it) into the slot on the underside of the Jetson Nano module.

  • Jumper the J48 Power Select Header pins.

  • Connect your other computer to the Jetson Nano’s Micro-USB port.

  • Connect a DC power supply to the J25 Power Jack. The Jetson Nano will power on automatically.

  • Allow 1 minute for the Jetson Nano to boot.

2- On your other computer, use the serial terminal application to connect via host serial port to the Jetson Nano. I use putty (board rate: 115200)

  • Review and accept NVIDIA Jetson software EULA

  • Select system language, keyboard layout, and time zone

  • Create username, password, and computer name

  • Select APP partition size—it is recommended to use the max size suggested

  • Select primary interface as dummy0 (Wi-Fi will configure later)

  • Choose “do not configure network at this time” and proceed

  • Login with username and password

3- Insert wifi dongle in to usb port

  • Check dongle with
$ nmcli d
  • Turn on the wifi
$ nmcli r wifi on

  • List out wifi “nmcli d wifi list”

  • Enter ssid and password

$ sudo nmcli d wifi connect <ssid> password <password>
  • Check ip with
$ ifconfig wlan0

4- Reboot and login via ssh on putty with above ip

In my experience NOMACHINE is better than VNC. If you wand NOMACHINE checkout the link

  • Update with
$ sudo apt update
  • Install nano text editor
$ sudo apt-get install nano

5- Enabling Desktop Sharing: steps

  • Install vino
$ sudo apt install vino
  • Open the schema in nano editor
$ sudo nano /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.Vino.gschema.xml

and go ahead and add the following key into the XML file

 <key name='enabled' type='b'>
    <summary>Enable remote access to the desktop</summary>
    <description>
      If true, allows remote access to the desktop via the RFB
      protocol. Users on remote machines may then connect to the
      desktop using a VNC viewer.
    </description>
    <default>false</default>
  </key>
  • Then compile the Gnome schemas
$ sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
  • Disable encryption for the VNC server
$ gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false
$ gsettings set org.gnome.Vino prompt-enabled false
  • Find the UUIDs of your connections
$ nmcli connection show
  • Replace UUID with yours as a comma separated list in the square brackets of the configuration line
$ dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/sharing/vino-server/enabled-connections "['UUID']"

6-Enabling Automatic Login (otherwise cant start from ssh): steps

  • Open the custom.conf file in the Nano editor
$ sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
  • commented-out these lines and replace user1 with your username (mine is nano)
AutomaticLoginEnable = true
AutomaticLogin = nano

7- Reboot and start Vino

$ sudo reboot
$ export DISPLAY=:0 && /usr/lib/vino/vino-server

  • Open VNC viewer with ip of nano and port number 5900 (mine is 192.168.43.166:5900 from Real VNC)

  • From GUI open startup application and add (othervise we have to manualy start vnc everytime)

/usr/lib/vino/vino-server

8- To fix low resolution issue modify xorg.conf file

$ sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and add these lines to end of the file (you can also choose resolution by changing 1280 800)

Section "Monitor"
   Identifier "DSI-0"
   Option    "Ignore"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
   Identifier    "Default Screen"
   Monitor        "Configured Monitor"
   Device        "Default Device"
   SubSection "Display"
       Depth    24
       Virtual 1280 800
   EndSubSection
EndSection

9- Reboot Jetson Nano and login via VNC

$ sudo reboot

10- Installing Docker Compose on Jetson Nano Run Docker

  • ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
