In this blog post, we will prevent the L4T packages’ upgrading on “apt upgrade” or “apt-get upgrade” commands. First, we will hold the “nvidia-l4t-*” packages to upgrade. Then, we will upgrade our all packages without them.
Open a terminal and type this command below:
sudo apt-mark hold 'nvidia-l4t-*'
As you can see that, all “nvidia-l4t-*” packages set on hold.
Now, let’s update all packages with APT.
To check the updates on all packages, type this command on terminal:
sudo apt-get update
Then, you can try to upgrade them:
sudo apt-get upgrade
At the beginning of this command, you can see all hold packages will keep back.
At this point, press “y” to accept installing packages on the Jetson module.
A few minutes later... (it depends on network speed)
At the end of the upgrading step, you can check it again.
As you can see that, the holding command works.
