Yes, sorry for not positing it in advance. It was a pretty dumb error message that said that reading board information failed. After having tried a couple of different things and failed on the process I tried something else.
Basically, I have found the solution by formatting the SSD to ext4. Here is what I did:
sudo parted /dev/sdX
mklabel gpt
mkpart primary ext4 0% 100%
quit
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX1
You don’t know how happy I am that I finally found a solution. I wasn’t able to flash our production boards for months and finally I could flash it. I still can’t believe that it was a simple solution. Maybe, this information is written down in the documentation. Posting this to help others.
Thanks!
