Thanks for your help.

So this is the filesystem issue?

It was the network issue at the end of the error messages, as you pointed out get past the “perceived” file path issue and the final error message was it:

/home/agrajag/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_6.2_Linux_JETSON_AGX_ORIN_TARGETS/Linux_for_Tegra/tools/kernel_flash/tmp 127.0.0.1(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)
Job for nfs-server.service canceled.0

That portion of the check_prerequisite()script is

if [ "${no_flash}" = "0" ]; then
		network_prerequisite "${network}" "${LINUX_BASE_DIR}"
	fi

That post I linked to talked about how

and when I checked my laptop and the workstation I attempted from that I borrowed, our home paths are encryptfs - which other googling pointed out will not properly nfs mount.

When I moved my SDKManager paths (and entire install/downloads) out of my home directory and into /opt/nvidia which is not encrypted everything just worked without issue (due to it not being encryptfs file system).

So the final failure that was taking place was over the failed attempt to create the NFS mount.
