I want to upgrade my Jetpack from version 5.0.2 to 5.1.2. I customized the rootfs (changed user, added some packages) and cloned it to my flashing pc to reflash it to other devices. The carrier board is custom and developed by a different company. I followed the following procedure to update it:
copied my old rootfs to the new BSP release for Jetpack 5.1.2
executed ./apply_binaries.sh
applied the patch from the custom carrier board
flashed it onto my device sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --flash-only jetson-xavier-nx-devkit-emmc mmcblk0p1
This worked without problems. The issue is that the ethernet device does not exist at all. It is the same error as described here. To make sure it is not an issue with the patch from the custom carrier board I downloaded the default file system from here and applied the patch. In this case there was no problem with the ethernet device.
What can I do to correctly migrate my rootfs to the new Jetpack release? Do I need to follow the ota update procedure as described here. I tried to do that but it failed because I do not have enough memory on the emmc.
Thank you for your help.
Dmesg log when the ethernet device failed. dmesg.log (68.6 KB)
I created the root file system for Jetpack 5.0.2 with your tools from here. Afterwards I flashed it onto the device and customized it manually.
When I use ./apply_binaries.sh I get some errors:

I does not look like an essential package that fails.
You have to re-generate the rootfs again for 5.1.2.
Some system libraries on 5.1.2 may depend on newer version of packages, and it’s not surprising they fail with an outdated rootfs.
YES.
You either specify them in the package list consumed by nv_build_samplefs.sh,
or put the .deb file in Linux_for_Tegra/nv_tegra/l4t_deb_packages, and apply_binaries.sh will take them.
Just for your info. I build the minimal flavor of the rootfs. When using apply_binaries.sh some packages were missing for nvidia-l4t-jetsonpower-gui-tools, nvidia-l4t-nvpmodel-gui-tools. Maybe they should be added to the package list.
