It is worth asking if you are using the supplied, cable, but it is unlikely this is the cause of the problem. Trying different ports may change results in the case of signal quality. Sometimes a different port can help or hurt. If the issue is signal quality, then sometimes a HUB in-between can help or hurt.Most charger cables would be able to detect device mode, but would fail during sustained data transfer. The micro-B cable provided with the dev kit is very good quality.

For various reasons this might fail even if the hardware is good. A running Jetson has a default sample of both a network interface and mass storage (read only).

Similar if mass storage is not automatically allowed. For example, there may be settings to say to not use network adapters as a network device until ok’d.
