Do you have a micro-sd card reader? You could flash it that way with etcher for example. In Linux, gnome-disks and dd also work but from what I understand don’t do verification passes like etcher (unless you do one manually on your own).

3

Hi jarosky,

Are you connect micro-usb to host via usb hub?
If yes, please try to connect usb port directly or try another usb port and usb cable.
Thanks!

4

If I want to use etcher. Where can I get the image from?
Thank you

5

I am not using a usb hub. I tried with different wires and ports and it doesnt work.
Thank you!

6

Here are the instructions and a list to the image (top of the page).

7

Does that image have the jetpack 4.2?

8

Yes, You can also download the image here but the download link is exactly the same. You simply download the zip, follow the instructions to use etcher to flash it onto a micro-sd card using a reader, then put that into the Nano and power it on.

9

Hi jarosky,

Are you using VM to flash JetPack-4.2?
We’re not support VM server.

You can reference this topic: [url]https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1051135/jetson-nano/sdkmanager-jetson-nano-flash-jetson-os-crashes-at-3-1-/post/5335114/#5335114[/url]

I was using a VM. I decided to flash the SDCARD directly and it worked.
Thank you!

I had the same problem “terminated with error”. Flashing aborted at 3% in manual and automatic mode. Python was missing in my case. The error was a few lines above and I haven’t seen it on the first view.

Solved problem on host machine with

sudo apt-get install python

It worked after that inside SDK
