No Drives Detected

in OS installer

When running the Emteria installer on my Mac running macOS Sierra 10.12.6 I make it to step "3: Drive" and then I cannot get past the "No drives detected" message. When I click on Refresh, the following error appears in the terminal screen where I'm running the installer

Refreshing drives
Found  0  drives
qrc:/main.qml:42: TypeError: Cannot read property 'identifier' of undefined

If I run the installer on Linux Mint via VirtualBox on the same Mac, I get the same error, which really confuses me.

Here is the entire terminal log:

Thank you in advance for any help.

    How is your drive connected? Is it recognized by the kernel/other software?
    Those messages in the console are just warnings - I get them too, but all connected sdcards are still listed correctly.

    The SD Card is connected via a USB adaptor and is recognized by the Mac's system and by applications, including Etcher, as available. Thank you for the tip, I'll try a different connection method.

    Success!! I tried it on my daughter's Mac that has an SD card reader and the installer recognized the card :smile: I'm in step "4 Flash" and downloading files now, we'll see what happens... Thank you @kalkov for the help.

    Also, had to try three times for step 4 to actually work. The first two times the download step took about a second and I then got a "Could not find package.json" error. package.json existed but was of zero size. Maybe an network issue... Third time the download and flashing worked.
