Before I go deeper into reading about all the SDK manager stuff, I used this repo and built myself a kernel and installed it. Then nothing showed up on my display, and so I decided to reflash. The process looks ok until it tries to flash into the board and gets a timeout. USB is attached to WSL correctly since I can confirm lsusb.

I will double down on what @EduardoSalazar96 said: It isn’t just about USB being connected at the start of flash since USB disconnects and reconnects during flash. VMs tend to not reacquire USB for the reattach of USB unless they are set up to do so.
