Cannot flash OS image to Orin Developer Kit via SDK Manager

This reference an issue I was having and it was not resolved. I am starting a new conversion.

Here is the link to the earlier post : Cannot flash OS image to Orin Developer Kit via SDK Manager - #58 by nicoNA

In clarification to this, the script is used to find the correct CRC value in the eeprom. There are two eeproms on the bus 0. On my board, the eeprom on register 0x56 had an incorrect CRC value which caused the board to boot with failures. The eeprom on register 0x50 does not seem to have any issue based on the CRC value.

Despite the CRC value being correct, I am still unable to flash the Jetpack from the SDKmanager.

This is the output with the errors from the SDKmanager logger.

Hi,

Just want to ask first. Then what was flashed in September?

Jetpack 5.0.2 , the same as now. I have updated the sdkmanager to it’s newest version

Err… I just want to clarify that… since the original post was not initiated by you either.
There is one point that maybe your issue is totally not related to eeprom at all…

For example, your error log does not look like the one with eeprom error.

If you think your issue is related to eeprom, please share any log that can show what you said…

Also, from your log, it seems you are using a VM as host machine?

Your log looks more like the recovery mode on the board was not got detected.

I don’t think the eeprom is the issue.

We are using a VM this time. But before we were using a native host machine with Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 18.04. We will try again on the native host machine and get back to you later today.

Sdkmanager does not support VM.

We went back to the native host machine (Ubuntu 20.04) and It worked.

In the logger we can see the similar errors but it was able to automatically recovered.
