5. Kulawa

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Tsaftace: Regularly clean the exterior of the device with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the device.
  • Tabbatar da iska: Make sure the ventilation grilles are free from dust and obstructions to allow proper airflow and prevent overheating.
  • Gudanar da Kulawa: Guji faduwa ko ƙaddamar da na'urar zuwa tasiri mai ƙarfi.
  • Sabunta software: Keep the JetPack SDK and operating system updated to benefit from the latest features, performance improvements, and security patches.

6. Shirya matsala

If you encounter issues with your developer kit, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Babu Ƙarfi: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the device and a working power outlet. Verify the power supply is functioning correctly.
  • Babu Nuni: Check the monitor cable connection (DisplayPort/HDMI) and ensure the monitor is powered on and set to the correct input source.
  • Batutuwa Na Wuta: If the keyboard or mouse is not responding, try connecting them to different USB ports or using different peripherals to rule out device-specific issues.
  • Matsalar software: If the system becomes unresponsive, perform a hard reboot by disconnecting and reconnecting the power. For persistent software issues, consider reinstalling the JetPack SDK or consulting NVIDIA's developer forums.
  • Yin zafi fiye da kima: Ensure the device is placed in a well-ventilated area and that the heat sink and fan are not obstructed.
