Problem: I am trying to flash my JETSON TX2 from VMware workstation 14 player (running ubuntu 16.04) on my windows machine. I finally got the vm to recognize the board as a usb device upon booting in recovery mode. However, after I finished the instillation the log reported flashing was successful, but there aren’t any demos or programs on the board. The last thing that I was prompted with was determining device IP. I selected manual entry.

I have no idea what to do next. I have attempted to complete the process through virtual box w/virtual box extenstions and failed. I deleted everything from the virtual box, attempted flashing and failed. Then I downloaded VM workstation and downloaded JETPACK, tried installing got the log shown above, but to no avail the board still doesn’t have the drivers or demos that I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
