Cannot flash NX via sdkmanager in vmware

Dear all. I found an old Xavier NX core (i think it’s emmc version coz i found this number :900-83668-0000-000) so I bought a board for it. I was using ubuntu 18.04 in vmware and installed sdkmanager_2.1.0-11660_amd64.deb and tried to flash Jetpack 5.1.3 , only chose Jeston Linux since there’s only 16GB emmc.
i did exactly as the tutorial:
add a jumper between FC_REG and GND
connect usb port to my PC
power on the board
here’s some screenshots might be helpful

but finally it turned out as this

and i export the log: may be useful for debugging? i don’t really know what’s wrong

SDKM_logs_JetPack_5.1.3_Linux_for_Jetson_Xavier_NX_modules_2024-04-27_15-44-57.zip (223.5 KB)

any suggestions will be apreciated! 🤔

i tried to choose the “xavier nx” instead of “xavier nx developer kit” yet
still cannot work😵

emmm , the fan stopped for about just half second then spinned up ,then flashing failed.
will this help?

No, that does not help. Please try native ubuntu instead of VM.

thanks for advice, i’ll try on a native ubuntu 20.04 :D

it failed either
on native ubuntu20.04 using sdkmanager

  1. Please dump the serial console log from your jetson during flash failure.
  1. There is a “export logs” button on sdkmanager GUI. Please export host side by clicking that. Stop sharing screenshot.

(1) + (2) is a pair. Please always share them from same flash attempt in the following discussion in this topic.
