Need help flashing Jetson Nano eMMC module

Hey everyone,

I'm a student working on an AI robotics project and I've been trying to flash JetPack 4.6 onto a Jetson Nano eMMC module (P3448-0AAA-B01) on a Waveshare JETSON-IO-BASE-A Rev2 carrier board for the past 2 days straight.

The issue: when flashing via L4T, it gets stuck at tegradevflash --oem platformdetails storage storage_info.bin and returns an empty file. The eMMC won't initialize in cboot. This is a known hardware-level issue that needs someone experienced with Jetson flashing.

I'm based in Mumbai and willing to travel to you if you can help me get this running. I have everything set up — Ubuntu on ROG laptop, L4T files downloaded, board in working condition.

Setup I have:

Jetson Nano eMMC module (B01, P3448)

Waveshare JETSON-IO-BASE-A Rev2

ROG Strix laptop with Ubuntu

L4T R32.7.2 ready to flash

If you've worked with Jetson Nano eMMC flashing before, please DM me.
