L4T is tegra, i.e. Jetson, probably
You’re asking a lot of Jetson questions here when there are forums dedicated to Jetson.
I’m assuming you have a TK1:

I think upgrading Jetson TK1 beyond 6.5 may be difficult, but you should certainly install the latest Jetpack. However, for TK1 (not sure if that is what you have) you will be limited to CUDA 6.5:

As njuffa said, nobody is going to spend any time with CUDA 6.5. If you want help, provide a complete example, maybe there will be workaround suggestions. You may have to muck around with the code.
Or go get yourself a TX1 or TX2.
Isn’t std::initializer_list part of C++11 ?

I think C++11 support was a “hidden” beta feature in CUDA 6.5. Early and ragged. Are you compiling with the proper switches? I imagine you are.
So if you want to stay with TK1/CUDA 6.5, you’ll probably need to choose something that doesn’t excite this particular compiler issue.
