malaga Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 hi dear community i have a system runningv on banana pi and i want to update this see what is currently running martin@bananapi:~$ l^C martin@bananapi:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic martin@bananapi:~$ look forward to hear from you by the way - how to find out which banana pi am on !?
manuti Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 I updated from Debian Strech to Buster following the instruction from this post, also in a Banana Pi. I suppose you can move from 18.04 to 20.04 with caveats in the way. I perform an image backup from the microSD before doing anything.

malaga Posted March 16, 2021 Author Posted March 16, 2021 hello dear Manuti was reading out board with the usage of devicetree a kernel using this (most arm/arm64) cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/compatible in my case it shows lemaker,bananapiallwinner,sun7i-a20martin@bananapi:~$ well what to do if i want to do a fresh os based on Armbian ?!
manuti Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I don't understand your question. But you can change the kernel using `armbian-config` tool and after that change repos from Bionic to Focal. With something like this (CAVEATS THAT IS NOT TESTED BY ME) : cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup sed -i 's|bionic|focal|g' /etc/apt/sources.list apt update && apt -y upgrade && apt -y dist-upgrade
