I am trying to flash my Jetson TX1 after it didn’t boot properly when I bought it. It freezes at “Writing partition APP with system.img” each time I try to install JetPack. I have tried this 4 times at it has frozen at 33%, 2%, 64% & 9%. I have waited around 1/2 an hour to an hour to see if it caries on, and it does not.
I have also tried in different USB ports as well as JetPack 2.2.1 & 2.2. When it has frozen I have just simply removed the USB cable and re-tried. Also, I am using Ubuntu 14.04 (VirtualBox VM) as the host computer.
If you have any ideas on what I can do to fix this, I will be grateful.
A VM for host has many issues reported, often with USB issues or halting. Sometimes it works, but I get the feeling that it has to be set up very carefully. Someone may have an idea for what to adjust on USB for the VM, but just beware you may be in for “significant effort” before it does as desired. For someone to comment on a possible adjustment you may want to give more specific information about the host o/s.
I faced the same issue, and solved it. Thanks!
To enable USB 2.0 in your virtualbox vm, download the Extension Pack and install it.
Use the same version of it. https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
