We will be using a tool called Nmap, which can be installed in ubuntu.

  1. Before connecting the jetson board run the command nmap -sn X.X.X.X/Y, which will return all the IP’s in the system.
  2. Now connect the jetson board and run again nmap -sn X.X.X.X/Y, if a new IP is assigned, you will find it now.

What I did,

  • I ran the above command and saved it to a file nmap -sn X.X.X.X/Y > file1.txt
  • Ran again after connecting the jetson board nmap -sn X.X.X.X/Y > file2.txt
  • vim -d file1.txt file2.txt This will show you the difference in the files side by side.

Note: Sometimes, you will get more than 1 IP after connecting the jetson board. You will have to give a trial and error method in that case. But this is not painful as connecting your board to a display and a keyboard just to find it’s IP. Thanks Dennis(RRLAB) for suggesting this easy hack!!
