You have been given a code snippet that checks the validity of a cargo project. However, there is an error in the code. Your task is to identify and fix the error to ensure that the code snippet can successfully check the project for the specified target.

Write a function `validate_cargo_project(target: str) -> str` that takes a target as input and returns the fixed command that should be executed.

**Input:**
- A string `target` that represents the target for cargo project.

**Output:**
- A string representing the fixed command that should be executed.

**Example:**
```python
target = "thumbv7m-none-eabi"
print(validate_cargo_project(target))
```
Output:
```
xargo check --target thumbv7m-none-eabi
```

**Note:**
- The `if` statement checks whether the `$TARGET` is equal to `"thumbv7m-none-eabi"`
- If the condition evaluates to `True`, the `cargo` variable is assigned the value `"xargo"`. Otherwise, it is assigned the value `"cargo"`.
- The `$cargo` command runs the `check` command with the specified `target`.
- The code snippet is calling the `main` function, which needs to be fixed accordingly.

Sure, I can help you fix this code snippet. Here's a modified function that returns the fixed command based on the input target:

```python
def validate_cargo_project(target: str) -> str:
    if target == "thumbv7m-none-eabi":
        return "xargo check --target thumbv7m-none-eabi"
    else:
        return "cargo check --target {}".format(target)
```

In this function, we're using an `if-else` statement to check if the input target is equal to "thumbv7m-none-eabi". If it is, we return the fixed command with "xargo". Otherwise, we return the command with "cargo". The string formatting (`{}`) takes care of inserting the target string into the command.

You can call this function with any target:

```python
target = "my_target"
print(validate_cargo_project(target))
```

Output:

```
cargo check --target my_target
```

It seems like you're trying to create a Python function that checks if a target is a specific type and then returns a command to be executed. However, there are some inconsistencies in your explanation and the code is not provided.

Based on your description, here's the corrected Python function:

```python
def validate_cargo_project(target: str) -> str:
    cargo_cmd = "xargo" if target == "thumbv7m-none-eabi" else "cargo"
    return f"{cargo_cmd} check --target {target}"
```

In this function, we first check if the `target` is equal to `"thumbv7m-none-eabi"`. If it is, we assign `"xargo"` to `cargo_cmd`, otherwise, we assign `"cargo"`. Then, we return the command to be executed, which is `"xargo check --target thumbv7m-none-eabi"` or `"cargo check --target <target>"` depending on the `target` input.

You can call this function with your example like this:

```python
print(validate_cargo_project("thumbv7m-none-eabi"))
```

And it will output:

```
xargo check --target thumbv7m-none-eabi
```

If you call it with a different target, like:

```python
print(validate_cargo_project("aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu"))
```

It will output:

```
cargo check --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
```
