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

 

cat /etc/armbian-release

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 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

# PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
BOARD=orangepizeroplus

lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
