Hello Mahbubur Rahman:

What is the exact command that you're using to burn the SD Card??

Make sure that the SD Card is not mounted or in use when you're trying to
write to it.

You mentioned that you're using
uhd-images_003.010.twinrx-devel-234-g6189cea6. You should be using a tagged
release of UHD, such as 3.9.4. The images for 3.9.4 are here:
