NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor - Board Access Methods
Follow Us On
 | The NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor documentation from RidgeRun is presently being developed. |
Before performing development on Jetson AGX Thor, you need a way to access the board once it boots. Jetson Thor provides several interfaces to interact with the running system, allowing you to choose the method that best fits your use case — whether debugging low-level boot logs, working headlessly over the network, or using the full Ubuntu desktop.
This section covers three common access methods:
- Using Serial Console: Useful for early boot logs, kernel messages, and recovery/debugging scenarios.
- Using SSH: The most common method for headless access over Ethernet or USB virtual networking.
- Using Ubuntu Login: Ideal for multimedia and GUI-based workflows using a connected display, mouse, and keyboard.
Each method offers a different level of access and is suited for different stages of development, from kernel bring-up to AI application testing.
