Latest Jetpack 6
- Now in master and scarthgap
- Scarthgap 35 branch pulled for those who need to stay at Jetpack 5
- Divergence in master and scarthgap due to upstream changes in oe-core related to no longer using WORKDIR as S
- Harder to backport fixes from master to scarthgap
- Patches now need upstream status tag.
- Marked some as pending as we may want to try to push upstream to NVIDIA repositories.
- Flakey USB flashing under some circumstances. Nothing we can fix.
  - Kernel logs on the host side will list filesystem errors.
  - Not something easily visible from the script. Do have notes on the flashing wiki page.
  - May be dependent on host USB controllers.
- Bought a PCIe USB adapter, if running into problems with built-in USB swapping to PCIe sometimes works.
32.7.5 coming soon based on recent PCN
- Will go to Kirkstone only.
Dropped dunfell from active branches since May was end of life.
- Will take PRs if needed but won’t spend time maintaining.
kas in tegra-demo-distro

- meta-arm uses for their CI
- upstream master adding more support for tools but shouldn’t count on that, will be a future thing.

Tim doing a Scarthgap upgrade demo in Vienna
- 90 minute tutorial session, lots on the list

Backporting may be more difficult now
