Jetson TX2 NX Flash error

I’m trying to flash the Jetson TX2 NX and it fails. I’m using the SDK Manager GUI on a virtual machine。
In the terminal, I get this error early in the process。

This is not suggested, please find a native Ubuntu host PC.

Hi zhangm_job,

Please help to get a standalone Ubuntu 18.04 PC for SDK Manager.

Are you using Jetson TX2 or Jetson Xavier NX?
(The topic is in TX2 category, but you mention that you are flashing Xavier NX?)

Is that the devkit from NVIDIA or custom board?

I’ll try it on my local Ubuntu computer later.

Hello!
I have flashed it on a native Ubuntu host PC and still failed !

Do you put the board in force recovery mode before flash?

I found there is an error about ECID.

Please check if the following thread could help.
