Hi @na-am ,

In our tarball (IOT2050-FW-Update-PKG-V01.05.01-0-g605c620.tar.xz), we specify a minimal target OS version via the BUILD_ID from /etc/os-release. However, the version in your case does not match this requirement.

Thanks.

it's definitely Sample Image 1.4.1 and no custom image, thats strange:

root@iot2050-debian:/mnt# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

Did you update or upgrade the OS?

Now, the quickest solution is to add a BUILD_ID manually.

[na-am]

ok, fresh installed 1.5.1:

root@iot2050-debian:~# cat /etc/os-release

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"
BUILD_ID="V01.05.01-0-g605c620"
VARIANT="IOT2050 Debian Example Image"
VARIANT_VERSION="1.0"

apt update && apt upgrade

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

I'm pretty sure that behavior wasn't in 1.3.1 or earlier

[huaqianli]

Thanks for the feedback.

When you run apt upgrade, the base-files package gets updated, which overwrites /etc/os-release with the new distribution information. This is expected behavior as base-files is responsible for maintaining system identification files.

Please find more info at https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/base-files and https://packages.debian.org/unstable/base-files.

However, we should also address the underlying design to mitigate this issue going forward.
