Recovery Button
Function
|
Recovery Button
|
---|---|---
Notes|
Used in conjunction with the USB OTG port for reprogramming the TX2/TX2i
onboard the eMMC drive.
By holding this button and powering on the system (or toggling reset), the
TX2/TX2i will enter recovery mode for reprogramming. It also turns the USB OTG
port into a target device port instead of a host port to enable another system
to discover it over USB.
Force Recovery Mode
USB OTG port of the Rudi can be used to reprogram the TX2/TX2i when put into
force recovery mode.
To enable force USB recovery mode using the Rudi Embedded System follow the
steps below:
- Power down the system completely. The system power MUST be OFF, not in suspend or sleep mode.
- Connect the OTG USB port to another host device that will be supplying the new system file.
- Using a paper clip or similar depress the Recovery button
- The power on the system with the Recovery button is still depressed. After three (3) seconds release the Recovery button.
- The TX2/TX2i will show up on the host system as a new NVIDIA Target device.
- After successfully updating the system software, power off the system. A clean power-up will revert the OTG port back into host mode.
RTC Battery
Included in the Rudi Embedded System is a BR2032 coin battery to provide RTC
backup power for the TX2/TX2i.
Information about battery life can be found in CTI App Note CTIN-00009
https://www.connecttech.com/pdf/CTIN-00009.pdf.
The battery is a poly-carbon-monofluoride Lithium coin cell, some details can

RUDI OPERATION
- Ensure the external power supply is turned OFF and unplugged from the AC power source.
- Connect the power cable from the +12V brick supply to the Rudi Embedded System. Ensure that the power supply being used is in the acceptable range of +12V +/-10%.
- Connect any additional system cables such as USB, Ethernet, HDMI, etc.
- Switch ON the Power Supply. DO NOT power up your system by plugging in live power. The system protects from some surges, but it is good practice to plug the barrel connector into Rudi, before plugging the brick into an AC source.
a. Toggle the front PWR button on the Rudi Embedded System for a startup if an ESG503. Please allow 15 to 30 seconds to power up into the Linux for Tegra (L4T) Ubuntu Operating System.
b. If Auto-Power On Mode is enabled, the Rudi will power on as soon as power is applied.
SYSTEM LEDS
The Rudi Embedded System has 5 System LEDs on the front, in 3 different colors.
