Upgrading Armbian to the newest version

[Darkyere]

I have an OPZ+ server with Armbian buster that has the following information

 

cat /etc/armbian-release
# PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE

I see on the download page of Armbian OPZ+

That there is a new version of Armbian out.

 

Armbian_20.05.2_Orangepizeroplus_buster_current_5.4.43.img.xz

 

As you can see i am currently running the 4.19 kernel and version 5.91 of Armbian.

How do i go around to upgrade my current Armbian to the Newest version of Armbian.

As in upgrade or similar. I dont wish to reinstall to much work in that.

Ty for reading,

You can use armbian-config to switch to the current kernel branch. For the rest a simple upgrade should do it.

[Darkyere]

Is that under

 

Armbian-config -> System Settings -> Other (Switch to other kernels)

 

And then just pick the newest version.

Or do i go about it some where else i armbian-config?

[Darkyere]

Ty for pointing me in the right direction.

 

I found this site

 

 

and it explained what to do.

So i choose the current branch and now everything looks like this

 

cat /etc/armbian-release

So i think everything is as it should be.
