Can't flash orin nano: timeout in USB write

Hello

I have flashed Jetson orin nano Devkit 8gb twice since I bought it. Last time I had this same error but eventually I managed to flash it. This time I have tried 15 times but I cannot flash it.

I have tried connecting to different USBs in host, manual and automatic, but I always get this same error.

Since I could not flash, I installed the image with Balena. However as I need to change pinmux I need to relfash. I’m on Jetpack 6, host Ubuntu 22.04. Attached logs.

I bought a Jetson Orin Nano 8GB Devkit a couple days ago. Read many I couldn’t flash JetPack 6 to my Jetson Orin Nano 8GB Devkit. My host is Ubuntu 22.04. I tried many times with different methods: SD card Image, SDK Manager but none of them work.

Below is part of the log I extracted from the Terminal tab in sdkmanager:

I am a newbie in this area, so any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you,
