[ Kernel was updated, please reboot ]

[spinarr]

Hello Armbian,

 

how does kernel update procedure work?

 

There is the script [1] that indicates that kernel was updated. 

Is that updating procedure automatic? When does that happen? Has it user under the control?

 

Many thanks for clarification.

Its actually tied to board support package, not a kernel. In most cases this update comes together, sometimes just this package is pushed.

The change is done here and when BSP package is intalled tha file is generated.

Not by default.

This process is triggered when you run apt update and apt upgrade or its version via armbian-config wrapper.
