Lesson 1: Your first workspace

Your first workspace

Make room to build. A clear table and the right connections are enough to start.

Hands-on instructions

AGX Orin · RealSense

Tick the steps as you go. Nothing is saved on this preview.

Clear a sturdy table near power and your network. It can be a temporary desk while a workbench is on order.Gather the AGX Orin developer kit, its supplied power adapter, the RealSense, and the camera's data cable.Bring a DisplayPort monitor/cable, USB keyboard, and mouse. An HDMI-only monitor needs an active DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter. Alternatively, use NVIDIA's documented USB/headless setup from another computer.Give the Jetson cooling space and secure the camera so it cannot fall off the table.Set aside a small, clear floor area for later driving tests.

Use the AGX Orin for the first camera exercises. Start the rover with its own supplied computer. A desktop or GPU workstation is useful later for reviewing recordings and running larger experiments. Leave any spare boards for later projects, once an experiment shows a specific need for them.
