jetson-print-bsp-info
Use when you need to print Jetson BSP info (L4T version, board configs, rootfs state) from a Linux_for_Tegra root on the host PC. This is an example skill.
Why this skill is useful
Adds specific commands and validation checks for Jetson BSP inspection that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
jetson-print-bsp-info Prints a concise summary of a Jetson LinuxforTegra (BSP) tree on the host PC. This skill is intended as a reference example for the jetson-bsp-skills repo and the NVIDIA-wide skills CI. It performs read-only inspection — no flashing, no rootfs changes. Purpose Capture a baseline snapshot of a LinuxforTegra BSP tree (release, board configs, rootfs state) before flashing, so issues like "wrong L4T version" or "rootfs never populated" are caught early. When to use A user has unpacked a Jetson BSP tarball and wants to confirm the L4T version, supported boards, and rootfs state before flashing. You need a quick sanity check that a LinuxforTegra/ directory looks valid (expected scripts and config files present). Prerequisites Running on the host PC (Linux), not on the Jetson target. A LinuxforTegra/ directory extracted from a Jetson BSP tarball. Standard CLIs available: ls, head, cat, paste, sed. Inputs L4TROOT (optional): absolute path to the LinuxforTegra/ directory. If unset, use the current working directory. Instructions Run each step in order and print the captured values into the report shown under Output format. 1. Resolve L4TROOT and validate the directory is a LinuxforTegra root — exit early otherwise. flash.sh and nvtegra/ are the two anchor artifacts that every BSP ships: 2. Extract the L4T release header line. The canonical host-side location is nvtegra/nvtegrarelease; the same file is copied into the rootfs by applybinaries.sh. Only the first line is useful — the rest is a long list of library SHAs: 3. List supported board config files and join them onto one comma-separated line: 4. Check whether the rootfs has been populated. …
