5.1.2 update to 5.1.4, is there a convenient method to update

hi nv team,

Due to material changes, our company needs to upgrade the JetPack version from 5.1.2 to 5.1.4. Besides using a USB cable to re-flash the system, is there a more convenient way to upgrade? For example, can we simply replace certain files?

We are using a custom-designed board with a customized device tree, kernel, and pinmux, all tailored for our own baseboard.

Additionally, for our already deployed hardware, if we want to upgrade to version 5.1.4 (mainly to align with NVIDIA’s material changes and ensure all our products are on the same version), is there an update method similar to file replacement within the existing file system, instead of re-flashing the entire system?

Hi,
If the device cannot be flashed/booted, please refer to the page to get uart log from the device:
https://elinux.org/Jetson/General_debug
And get logs of host PC and Jetson device for reference. If you are using custom board, you can compare uart log of developer kit and custom board to get more information.
Also please check FAQs:
Jetson AGX Orin FAQ
If possible, we would suggest follow quick start in developer guide to re-flash the system:
Quick Start — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation
And see if the issue still persists on a clean-flashed system.
Thanks!

hi @carolyuu , thanks for your quick reply.

in fact, I have complete port the jetpack 5.1.4 on my custom board. so what I really want to know is I used the JetPack 5.1.2 version software on my previous hardware board. If I want to upgrade it to version 5.1.4, but I don’t want to re-flash it using a USB cable, is there a more convenient and quick way to do this in this situation?
