I suspect r45462 (and related r45496) broke sysupgrade on EdgeRouter
devices. it fills /tmp/sysinfo/board_name with "cavium,octeon-3860"
while sysupgrade expects it to be "er" or "erlite". This is because
octeon only has a few generic dts files, nothing board specific, so
there is no useable board name in /proc/device-tree/compatible.

I worked around this by putting this
intarget/linux/octeon/base-files/lib/preinit/11_sysinfo:


#!/bin/sh

verify_sysinfo() {
       if [ -f /tmp/sysinfo/board_name ]; then

               name=$(cat /tmp/sysinfo/board_name)

               case "$name" in
                       er|erlite|erpro)
                               continue
                               ;;
                       *)
                               rm /tmp/sysinfo/board_name
                               ;;
               esac
       fi
}

boot_hook_add preinit_main verify_sysinfo

A real fix for this is still needed though.

I only have ERL devices without switch, so can't help you with that, sorry.

Kind regards,
