Error during flashing Jetson Orin NX 16 GB using Orin Nano devkit carrier board

I am trying to flash a Jetson Orin NX 16 GB using Orin Nano devkit carrier board and a NVMe SSD (PC SN530 256 GB). The installation through the SDK manager fails with the error:

I am not sure how to solve this issue. The carrier board has a USB A (Linux PC) to USB C (board) connection, an ethernet connection and is in recovery mode. I am attaching the output log. Thanks in advance!

I also get the same error when I try to flash through the command line. I followed the instructions online and use this command:

 sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 -c ./tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_t234_nvme.xml -p "-c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" --network usb0 --showlogs jetson-orin-nano-devkit nvme0n1p1

This is for JetPack 6.0 and Jetson Linux version 36.3.

I also tried flashing by choosing JetPack 5.1.3 in the SDK manager. The log for this is attached below:

What OS do you use with the host PC?
Can you check the status of nfs-kernel-server? Also disable firewall is there is any.
Or try this method instead:

Thank you for responding. I am using Ubuntu 20.04. nfs-kernel-server is active and firewall is disabled.

The problem was that the fan was off so the device shuts down during flashing to prevent overheating.

Oh, OK, sure…
So is it solved now?

Yes. I was able to flash the module successfully. Thank you!
