JetPack 7.x build implemented

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

Implements JetPack 7.x support in the workspace setup / source sync / patch-apply / build pipeline, and adds the required JP7 kernel/NVIDIA OOT patch sets, device-tree overlays, docs, and CI workflows.

Changes:

• Add JetPack 7.0/7.1 version handling, JP7 toolchain setup, and JP-version-specific source list files.
• Replace per-version source_sync_*.sh scripts with a unified scripts/sync-sources.sh that reads scripts/sources_* manifests.
• Introduce JP7 kernel/NVIDIA OOT patch bundles, new tegra264 overlay sources, and update documentation + GitHub Actions workflows.

Code Review — JetPack 7.x Support (PR #396)

Overall a solid effort to unify the build infrastructure and add JP7 support. Found several issues ranging from bugs to style concerns. See inline comments plus these additional notes:

apply_patches.sh — Removed .realsense_patch_base tracking

The previous code stored the original commit hash before applying patches in .realsense_patch_base and used it for reset. Now reset always does git reset --hard $L4T_VERSION. If the source repo was on a different commit than the tag, the reset behavior changes. Likely fine, but worth noting as a behavioral change.

build_all.sh — make install -C kernel was removed for JP6+

The old code had make ARCH=arm64 install -C kernel which copies the kernel Image to the output. That line is now gone. Verify that the kernel Image is still being installed to $TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT/rootfs/boot/ for JP6. For JP7, make -C kernel builds it, but the install target also copies it to the output directory.

Follow-up Review (v2)

Previously resolved (thank you):

• README_JP7.md title: Fixed
• Consolidated pad_ops: Fixed
• make install restored in build_all.sh: Fixed

Still unresolved (replies posted on original threads):

• d4xx.c: Version guard mismatch
• d4xx.c: Dead code pad assignment
• d4xx.c: Duplicate sensor assignment
• d4xx.c: __memcpy should be memcpy
• apply_patches.sh: version used as patch subdir name
• setup-common: export version (generic name)
• setup-common: Silent default to first supported version
• test_metadata.c: Debug fprintf calls
• build_all.sh: Mixed tabs/spaces in JP7 dtb block

New findings in this round:

See inline comments below.

Review Round 3 (after force-push to 89de0e1)

Major rewrite of shell scripts — great improvement in structure and consistency with version_lt, JP_INPUT_VERSION, unified sources dir naming. Many of the issues from the previous review rounds have been addressed.

Fixed since last review (thank you):

• README_JP7.md title
• Consolidated pad_ops into single ds5_pad_ops / ds5_subdev_ops
• make install restored in build_all.sh
• export version renamed to JP_INPUT_VERSION
• Duplicate sensor = state->mux.last_set removed
• Dead $2 == reset block removed (rewritten)
• $version as patch subdir replaced by JP_INPUT_VERSION

Still present + New findings:

See inline comments below.
