UnicodeDecodeError #90

jetson-xavier-nx-devkit-emmc, Board Family: t186ref, SoC: Tegra 194, balena-cloud-parking-lot-jetson-xavier-nx-devkit-emmc-2.99.27+rev1-v14.0.8.img Node.js 12.22.12 Python 3.10.6 Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS

Greetings: I am trying to flash BalenaOS on a Xavier NX Module (w/ eMMC). The procedure seems to proceed okay until this point:

File "/tmp/Linux_for_Tegra/bootloader/tegraflash_internal.py", line 164, in print_process outputchar = output.decode('ascii') UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) Failed flashing t186ref.

Is 'ascii' the problem? Should it be 'utf-8' instead? Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated.

Hi there, thanks for reporting this. I found this forum topic on Nvidia that seems to be related https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/flashing-xavier-nx-emmc/187379

Could you make sure that you are using python2 as your default python interpreter, i.e. that the binary for python points to python2 and try again?

Please let us know if that works for you

Success! So maybe I was not comprehending the README.md file correctly, but here is where I headed down the wrong path:

This tool runs internally the Linux_for_Tegra package, so we assume you have all the dependencies (libxml2, python3, etc) for this tool installed.

Thank you!

P.S. I thought I'd add one other note. My Linux box did not come with python2 as default. So I apt installed python2 as usual, but I also left python3 alone. I then used the update-alternatives command so that, when necessary, I can easily choose which version of python I wanted to default to when "python" is called.
