I am using Zed mini with Orin AGX (64GB), the camera is not recognized on boot. I have made sure the USB-C is connected the right way, it starts working when I un-plug & replug it in. lsusb after boot.

Hi @sandeepdutta
Welcome to the Stereolabs community.

Unfortunately, this is a known problem with ZED Mini which does not have the electronics ready to cope with it. It’s something related to how the NVIDIA Jetson initializes the USB controllers at the boot time.
You can recover the camera without unplugging and replugging it by using the tool provided in this GitHub repository: GitHub - obraun-sl/usb_power_cycle: Simple tool to perform a USB power cycle on Jetson Nano/NX devkit
