Hello,
I tried flashing an image - dau-min-image-imx6dldau.encryptedsdcard.bz2 onto my SD card [ 16 GB ]. During Validation - it says flash failed at the end.

Trial 1: Used a different SD Card - Same issue.
Trial 2: Ran Balena Etcher as Administrator - same error.
Trial 3: Used a different USB port [ Using a USB Card Reader - New unit, attached SD Card ], Ran Balena as admin - Still the issue persists.

Here is the console output:

I could not make out much sense out of the output log to determine the cause of error.
Can you please help me identify as in where the issue lies? [ Have also tried with Rufus but wasn’t possible. ]

Thanks,

Hi @nathaniel-93,

Thanks for reaching out. Can we try out the flashed SD card even after validation failure? Also, do you think if there is a possible device (SD card) access while its been flashed?

Hello Nitish,

  1. Can we try out the flashed SD Card even after validation failure?
    No, the board fails to boot up.

  2. Also, do you think if there is a possible device [ SD Card ] access while its been flashed?
    I don’t think so.
    I use an USB Card Reader - insert SD card into the slot and flash. [ Have tried with different USB Card Readers & Different Ports, The Issue persists. ]

Best Regards,
Nathan

Can you try this with the portable version and see if you have the same issue?

On second thought, can you try it again on the normal app…and if it fails again post the console.log results?
