reComputer J401 - Orin NX - sudo apt upgrade or Package Installation Error (JetPack 6.1)

Hi all,

I too am curious (and maybe a slight bit concerned?) about the inability to update the system.
As I understand it right now:

  • A new ‘version’ of the OS is available by flashing a new JetPack version that is provided by Seeed Studio
  • We are urged not to upgrade using the NVidia SDK, only the Seeed
  • The deployed kernel packages should be marked held in order not to update them by accident:
    apt-mark hold nvidia-l4t-display-kernel nvidia-l4t-kernel nvidia-l4t-kernel-dtbs nvidia-l4t-kernel-headers nvidia-l4t-kernel-oot-headers nvidia-l4t-kernel-oot-modules
  • The ubuntu apt-upgrade command should not be used at any time
  • If a package is to be installed (eg to compile anything), apt-get install should be used.

Am I correct in this understanding?
