Hi, would like to know whether there is experience in upgrading to bookworm from bullseye with these RK3318/28 boards.
Notably I would like to know about upgrading without a reinstall from scratch.
From the general armbian upgrade instructions (https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-upgrade-distribution-like-focal-to-jammy-or-bullseye-to-bookworm) I see that I should:
Fire up armbian-config to freeze the firmware packages (if not frozen already, by selecting System and Freeze)
Follow the generic upgrade instructions specific to debian
Is this enough? Should I unfreeze the firmware packages afterwords?
Others when it was time to upgrade from buster to bullseye suggested a slightly different procedure:
apt update & full-upgrade
Disable /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list all entries to stop armbian from upgrading
Use normal debian upgrade steps -> Change release in /etc/apt/sources.list
apt update & full-upgrade
Restart, validate working system
Update /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list with new release
apt update & full-upgrade
Is this any safer? They recommend making sure at least some working version of armbian-image-* armbian-dtb-* is installed before rebooting which seems reasonable, but is there any reason this might fail?
Thanks!
