Updating the DTB while running on usb boot

Thank you @WayneWWW for taking the time to explain this. I’m trying to do more camera integrations now and it seems like almost everyone of them involves a flash.sh script if some sort that causes issues.

Blockquote 2. After jetpack4.3, all jetson platforms support extlinux boot now. Thus, you could replace image and dtb by updating extlinux.conf. However, there are some problems and we get some forum user’s feedback as below link.

How to load DTB instead of flashing to eMMC? Jetson AGX Xavier

Tidbits like this is very helpful in detangling some of the gotchas for newbies that didn’t come from the owning a TX.

When there is no FDT assigned in extlinux.conf, it should read the dtb file from partition.

This sums up what I’ve observed as well from playing with the FDT entry. An issue with the official images that you download from the release page (Dec 2019) are that they do not come up with dtb folder and you have to create these yourself. The SDKM ones do not have this issue.
