I got the ZED working looks like it was a bandwidth issue with the onboard hub, I ordered a highspeed USB 3.0 PCI card and installed it on the only port available on the TX2 board. The ZED now runs though that and has no further issues. Need to find a way to more securely mount the PCI card, but that is for another day. The card details: FebSmart 1X USB-A & 1X USB-C 10Gbps Ports PCIE USB 3.1 GEN2 Expansion Card  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089Y7X3DV?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

A nice side effect to fixing the bandwidth problem is now there is one less cable that reaches down the neck and there is a USB C port near the back now. So in a power outage you can just keep your devices charged...
