Error when flashing TX2 with sdkmanager using docker

[jseng]

I am running Ubuntu 20.04 and trying to flash a TX2 using the sdkmanager docker image. It downloads and creates the image correctly, but when the time comes to flash, I get an error of command ‘strings’ not found. It seems like it cannot find the command ‘strings’ in the docker image.

I am using docker image: sdkmanager-1.4.1.7402_docker.tar.gz

My docker command is:

sudo docker run -it --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb/ --rm sdkmanager --cli install --logintype devzone --product Jetson --target P3310-1000 --targetos Linux --version 4.5.1 --select 'Jetson OS' --deselect 'Jetson SDK Components' --flash all --license accept --datacollection disable

This is my error:

Sorry for the late response, have you managed to get issue resolved?

[jseng]

Docker did not work, so I just had to find a computer and install Ubuntu 18.04. It would be useful if sdkmanager could run on Ubuntu 20.04.

To support with Ubuntu 20.04 is not yet ready, it’s under planning. Thanks
