Product: Coral Dev Board Micro

Host Platform: Raspberry Pi v4 B 8GB

Host OS: Raspberry Pi bullseye

Host Architecture: aarch64

I'm setting up a development environment for the Coral Dev Board Micro on a Raspberry Pi as described here and here. Everything builds, but when I try to flash the device, flashtool.py returns the error below. I don't run into this problem when I use Mac OS.

I'm grateful for any debugging/troubleshooting suggestions.
