If the kernel fails to boot, I can’t access the system to update the /boot/Image file. Currently, my only option is to reflash the system, but this process consumes a lot of time. How can I quickly update the kernel in the event of a /boot/Image boot failure?
Hi,
What L4T version you are using?
I think if the kernel image in rootfs fails, the system should fall back to boot kernel from a dedicated partition, so I’m not sure what exactly is in your case.
You can make a copy of the kernel image, and add a new entry in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf, then you’ll be asked to choose which set of config you want to boot from.
jetson linux R32.6.1
Is the selection made here?

Selecting backup did not result in a successful boot. The printout information is as follows:

YES.
Then looks like it’s not an issue of the kernel image, but something else that needs to be solved by re-flashing.
Where should I start from?
Also, which device is the file system partition in the emmc? /dev/mmcblkxxxx?
I don’t know what you mean here…
In the previous comment, I mean if the boot failure is caused by some modification you make to the kernel image, then switching for a backup kernel should work, but clearly it’s not the case now. So the only thing you can do is re-flashing.
If you mean rootfs, then it’d /dev/mmcblk0p1.
