The NVIDIA
Jetson TK1 developer board is a full-featured device ideal for software development
within the Linux environment. Standard connectors are used to access Tegra
enabling a highly flexible and extensible development platform. Go to

supporting the OS image and host development platform that you want to use. The developer SDK
includes an OS image that you will load onto your Tegra device, supporting documentation, and code
samples to help you get started.
This section familiarizes you with the Jetson platform; what to do when you get it out of the box, how
to boot into a Graphical User Interface and run basic sample code with the pre-installed software.
Getting Started
Individual development efforts will vary and may result in modifications to the system configuration. It
is recommended that you begin with the basic system configuration (as shipped) to ensure proper
system operation prior to any further development.
Assumptions
> You have a Jetson TK1 Tegra Developer System, equipped with the NVIDIA
> Your developer system should be cabled as follows:
Serial cable plugged into the serial port J1A2 UART4 on the target connected to your Linux
host directly or through a serial-to-USB converter. (To setup serial console on the Linux
host.)
(Not included in the developer kit) To connect USB peripherals such as keyboard, mouse, and
[optional] USB/Ethernet adapter (for network connection), a USB hub should be connected to
the working USB port (J1C2 USB2) on the Jetson TK1 system.
An HDMI cable plugged into "J1C1 HDMI" on the target which is connected to an external
HDMI display.
An Ethernet cable plugged into the J1D1 on board Ethernet port.
Powering Up the Tegra Device
1. Connect the AC adapter supplied in your kit to the power connector of your device.
2. Plug the power adapter into an appropriately rated electrical outlet.
3. The system should power on, if not, press and release the power button on the device. You
should see a green POWER LED light illuminate and the fan will spin up
