i2cdetect failure

[utkarshgupta27]

The i2cdetect should be scan all of device connect to the bus by send command one by one to the bus, there's no need to add it to the device tree for the scanning. You may need to probe confirm the device have ack.

If i2cdetect doesn't find it, then one of the following is true:

• the MPU6050 is broken
• the MPU6050 is not getting powered
• the MPU6050 uses different voltage than the Jetson (3.3v vs 1.8v can be a problem, depending on options/jumpers)
• the MPU6050 runs at a slower i2c max clock than you're using on the Jetson
• the MPU6050 is not connected with correct pull-ups
• you're talking to the wrong i2c bus on the Jetson and the MPU6050 is connected to another bus
• the GPIO pins are not configured to output the I2C signals

Depending on which of those are the problem, you will need to do different things to fix them.

I'd recommend hooking up a logic analyzer to the I2C bus and ground when doing the i2cdetect, to make sure you actually see the clock/data wiggle correctly.
Once you can make sure that happens, you can start debugging the actual communications protocol.
