I have received a new AGX board and flush first with sdkmanager. I get “flash: First Error: Installation failed” error message.

sdkmanager terminal showing below.

Can you help me out about this?

Dear @Peter_Pertrili,
May I know if the board is working fine before flashing?
Could you confirm if the host pre-requistes(Getting Started: DRIVE OS 5.2.0 :: DRIVE Platform Installation Guide with NVIDIA SDK Manager) are followed? Is it possible to check flashing from another host?

4

@SivaRamaKrishnaNV Yes the board is working fine before flassing. My board is still working fine now since I have never burned my own OS to board.

@SivaRamaKrishnaNV Use lsusb we can verify our AGX already enter into flushing mode. Can you describe for me what is ECID and what reason cause ECID failed read?

@SivaRamaKrishnaNV When I switching to another PC which installing a total new Ubuntu 18.04, there is no python tool as default only install with python3.x. Then apt-get install python again , now flush AGX board successfully.
Therefor I doubt there is something wrong with my Python2.7 environment?

Dear @Peter_Pertrili,
Therefor I doubt there is something wrong with my Python2.7 environment?

Yes. I suspected the issue could be with host environment and suggested to try from another machine. The host environment issues are tough to debug.
