The J120 features 1 or 2 CAN interfaces. As the Jetson TX1 does not have native CAN interfaces, the J120 features 2 SPI based CAN controllers (Microchip MCP2515). Please install the Kernel and support package with the MCP2515 driver, which is provided by Auvidea. Because of a bug in the SPI_CS_0 handling only 1 CAN controller is populated.

MCU so that it may be bypassed. Alternatively the MCU may be removed. 2. please populate RN1 with a 10 Ohm resistor network (Panasonic: EXB-24V100JX, Digikey: Y5100CT-ND, Auvidea: 25151), to connect the UART0 port of the TX1/ TX2 to J7. Please note that this requires very good soldering skills and it should be performed by our technicians.

Q: Why does not USB work on my J120/J121? A: You have to flash your TX2 module with Jetpack 4.2 using NVIDIA's SDK manager and then apply our patch: J120: https://www.auvidea.eu/download/firmware/TX2/v2.0/J120_4.2.zip J121: https://www.auvidea.eu/download/firmware/TX2/v2.1/J121_v2_1.tar.bz2 Instructions on how to apply it are inside the downloaded .zip file.
