Issue flashing SSD with SDK manager

[LChachayma]

I am trying to flash the latest version of JetPack 5.1.2 on a XavierNX developer kit. When I flash the root partition does not use the full size of the SDD (1024gb) and 15 partitions are created.
I tried to change some files in SDK manager as the following post, but the flash process gets stuck on 99%:

JetPack 5.1.2/L4T 35.4.1 is now live

By further investigating, the root cause is that the layout used to flash external device is changed to “flash_l4t_t194_nvme.xml” from “flash_l4t_external.xml” in “nvsdkmanager_flash.sh” for T194 device. This only affects the customer who is using SDKM to flash device on T194 device. For customers who use initrd flash to flash device, there is no effect. For the customers who want to extend the size of APP partition on external device for T194 device, here is the workaround: Flashed the devi…

When trying to flash the SDK manager displays a message:

Installation of ‘Flash Jetson Linux’ is taking longer than expected.
Do you want to continue installing this package?

I am attaching the logs.
This is the last part of the logs:

At the end I got tired of waiting and disconnected the board.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi,

Please also dump serial console log as instructed here:

Jetson Nano & NX Style - Serial Debug Console - JetsonHacks

[LChachayma]

Sorry I do not have the USB-serial device available now

[DaveYYY]

Then it’s hard to further allocate the issue.
I can only suggest trying more times or maybe switching for a different host PC or USB cable/port.

[LChachayma]

I have an USB-232 header that I will have to take apart, but I do not know if it will work because it is old.
If I get it working: when does the logs need to be captured? During the whole flashing process?

[DaveYYY]

YES, please capture log during the whole flashing process.
