Is flashing the Xavier Drive platform from an Ubuntu 16 VirtualBox guest (Ubuntu 18 host) supported?

Currently the SDKManager does not Support Ubuntu 18, therefore i have to use an Virtual Machine, however I forwarded the USB IDs 0955:7019 and 0403:6011 to the Virtualmachine.

  1. The Xavier reboots when i start flashing, i assume connection is fine
  2. I get different Errors while flashing, sometimes invalid arguments errors sometimes “error-target-port-mismatch”.

The Xavier system is connected via an hub to the Bridget network port. The host is DHCP server for this network and i can access the drive platform when it boots up via ip and ttyUSB.

Therefore my questions:

  1. Is flashing from an VM supported, did I miss something?
  2. Is there an Ubuntu 18 (beta/alpha) version of the SDK Available?

Hello SivaRamaKrishna

I have the same issue. I am not able to flash the target platform (drivePx2) using virtual box ubuntu 16.04. (https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1055450/general/not-able-to-flash-tegra-a-tegra-b/)

Is flashing from an Virtual Machine (VM) supported?

Could I have a motivation to why VM is not compatible with drivepx2 or other platforms?
