Hi,

My MicroSD card is connected through an SD card adapter/reader to laptop and then to Ubuntu Virtual machine, detected as /dev/sdb

I also tried to commect MicroSD card via USB adapter instead of card reader, but it still failed with same error (/mnt/sdb0: Cannot open: No such file or directory).

Any help is much appreciated.

I found the reason, why it is failing... I've to format the MicroSD card before installing the LSDK images
$ flex-installer -i pf -d /dev/sdb
$ flex-installer -i auto -m ls1012afrwy -d /dev/sdb
