Are you using a VM? VMs tend to lose USB.

Hi diegomanut,

Can you try flash by manually?

Put device into force-recovery mode
cd ~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack-4.2.1_Linux_GA_P2888/Linux_for_Tegra
Flash device:
$ sudo ./flash jetson-xavier mmcblk0p1

If you got the same error, please change another type-C to usb cable or connect another USB port to try again. Thanks!

Hi nc1018,

Please install “python” on your host ubuntu machine first.
Then flash again. Thanks!
