RenatoLorenzi Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I have several orange pi pc plus using armbian and need to upgrade. I was able to upgrade to bionic but the kernel continued on version 3.4.113-sun8i. How do I upgrade the kernel? I need to upgrade because I will use the docker and it requires a kernel at least with version 3.10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
062621AM Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Why don't you flash a new image instead? Even Ubuntu doesn't upgrade the kernel after certain version. https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipcplus/archive/Armbian_5.90_Orangepipcplus_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.57.7z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 In theory: you need to remove existing kernel package, u-boot, board support package, upgrade and manually update u-boot, check boot script if its the same as the one in the build script, check if armbianEnv.txt is present and you have a correct UUID inside. Then install DTB kernel package, kernel IMAGE and board support package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
