Failed to activate OSDK on M100

I am trying to run the djiosdk-flightcontrol-sample on a M100 drone but I am getting the following output/error:

pi@drone:~/drone/Onboard-SDK-3.3/build/bin $ ./djiosdk-flightcontrol-sample ../../sample/linux/common/UserConfig.txt

As you can see, the computer can reach the M100 via USB:

• The M100 is connected to the CPU via the UART_CAN2 cable and a TTL-USB converter.
• The OSDK can read/write from/to the M100: (it gets the device serial No, etc)
• The App ID and Key are set in the configuration file.
• The Assistant is running on another CPU (a Mac)
• All transmission rates are different than zero and less than 100Hz at the DJI OSDK configuration page

Everything looks right, but it does not work and gives the obscure message:

Failed to activate please retry SET 0x0 ID 0x1 code 0x3

Any ideas? Please help.

From the docs:

Q. The sample says Activation failed! and does not proceed.

A. Please make sure you have DJI Go open and your mobile device connected to the internet, and the correct App ID and Key in your config.json file. Try a couple of times, if it doesn't work, raise a Github issue.

The NEW_DEVICE_ERROR indicates that the activation was unable to verify your app ID and key with the activation server. This could be because the ID and Key do not match, but it is usually because DJI Go is not open or does not have connection to the Internet.
