Hi, I’m making an autonomous drone using Nvidia Jetson Nano as onboard computer. I have the FC connected to GPIO pins (J41 pins) 8 and 10. But I don’t see any change in `lsusb`. The rx-tx pair is named `/dev/ttyTHS1`. This setup is similar to raspberry pi setup (which I’ve never done!). ![25 PM](https://discuss.px4.io/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e3cf7ef55c827164c8b9eb5f3c8b4abed401b1a8.jpeg) ---

I don’t think connecting to GPIO pins would show up in `lsusb`. I think what you want to try is to connect using something like MAVSDK to the serial port with the correct baudrate to check if any MAVLink messages are arriving. ---

check this link , solution provided by Brisbane Robotics Club… [http://brisbaneroboticsclub.id.au/connect-nvidia-nano-to-pixhawk/](http://brisbaneroboticsclub.id.au/connect-nvidia-nano-to-pixhawk/) i will be testing the same with jetson-nano. ---

As @JulianOes has already pointed out, `lsusb` only shows usb devices. I have used jetson nano for mavlink communication over TELEM2 and it works out of the box. You need to check if your serial configurations are correct ---

Can you share the link of the product which you’re using to connect (UART-JSTGH connector) with me? If you got it from online somewhere? An amazon link would do. Thanks. ---

The link is dead, yes. My main advice is to use an FTDI adapter over USB on the Jetson and **NOT** the Jetson’s GPIO serial port. In my testing it didn’t work correctly, something about the voltage levels was off, and made everything noisy or not working. ---
