LP-AM243: Unable to perform "Flash SOC Initialization Binary" step in the "Getting Started" guide

Hello,

I am unable to successfully perform the "Flash SOC Initialization Binary" step from the AM243x MCU+ SDK: EVM Setup guide:
https://software-dl.ti.com/mcu-plus-sdk/esd/AM243X/08_06_00_43/exports/docs/api_guide_am243x/EVM_SETUP_PAGE.html

I am able to setup the serial terminal and receive the "C" character, indicating that the board is in "UART Boot" mode.  However when I run the python script, I get the following error:

I have also tried this same step using the AM243x-EVM and the AM64x-EVM, and with each board, I get the same error.  Also, I have tried on two separate computers, and have received the same error message.

The marking on the AM243x IC is "XAM2434B"  Does this indicate that the device is HS FS, not GP?  And does this require an extra setup step?

Do you have any suggestions to get the flash setup?
