Connecting RPLIDAR A1 to NVIDIA Jetson Nano #23

I am trying to connect rplidar A1 to NVIDIA Jetson Nano but Jetson cannot recognize it as an usb device. I tried to install cp210x as explained here but it does not work - probably because the Module version (4.4.38-tegra) does not match the Kernel version (4.9.140-tegra)

Do you have any suggestions?

I'm using a RPLIDAR S1 on a Jetson Nano. These devices both have cp210x USB to serial converters. The driver you want to use comes with the kernel, and is correctly recognized on my system (lsusb shows device ID 10c4:ea60 as CP210x UART bridge), with device /dev/ttyUSB0. I recommend reinstalling your system from scratch and trying again.
