Flashing Jetson Orin Nano Super through USB on WSL not working

[suranjanotti]

Hi,

I am trying to install Jetpack in SD card on Jetson Orin Nano Super using WSL but I get error:
Flash Jetson Linux - flash: Device failed to boot to the initrd flash kernel. Please retrive the serial log during flashing to debug further.
I followed the steps provided in
https://docs.nvidia.com/sdk-manager/wsl-systems/index.html

I get the following error on the Windows host during flashing.

I’ve also attached logs.

As this known issue indicates, WSL does not support Orin Nano. All the devices to Orin Nano are external storage.

Ah I see! Thank you!
