Flashing Jetson TX2 fails with "Invalid target board - jetson-tx2"

Hi all:

I’m trying to flash a Jetson TX2 board from a host machine running Ubuntu 16.04 using JetPack-L4T-3.0-linux-x64.run.
The TX2 board is in recovery mode, and it shows up on the host machine when I run lsusb as an “Nvida corp” device:

$ lsusb
…
Bus 001 Device 010: ID 0955:7c18 NVidia Corp.
…

Jetpack installation fails with the message:

“Error: Invalid target board - jetson-tx2.”
…

Any suggestions?

JetPack is intended to run on Ubuntu14.04.
Some people got it working with Ubuntu16.04, but there may be some tricks needed…searching this forum may help.

Hello, I have the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04. It seems that this is not (only) an OS version problem. Is Any advice?

What is the host (Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04, VM or not, etc.)? Does the Jetson show up with “lsusb -d 0955:7c18”?
