Install a new Kernel to Lime2 with old cmd lines (3.4.108 please ?)

[Pasco35]

Hello, I look for the instructions for use to install the new Kernel 3.4.108 for Debian Jessie on Olimex Lime 2 please. He was posted here: http://www.armbian.com/olimex-lime-2/ But he(it) disappeared. He explained us the lines of commands(orders) to create both files : "boot.scr" and "boot.cmd". Could you tell me where are these instructions for use please? Thank you very much... (sorry for bad english, i'm a froggy)

I just uploaded new version yesterday where update method is changed / simplified but I haven't updated manual or publish upgrade script yet. I need few days to prepare documentations and to make sure upgrade works on all possible scenarios.

 

Check this:

And this

Or wait few days.

Hello, The script of kernel-update (documentation) no start here.

 

I look for the instructions for use to install the new Kernel 3.4.108 for Debian Jessie on Olimex Lime 2 please. He was posted here: http://www.igorpecov...bian-sd-image/ But he(it) disappeared. He explained us the lines of commands(orders) to create both files : "boot.scr" and "boot.cmd". Could you tell me where are these instructions for use please?

 

The script no start here. Thank you very much Igor.

[Igor]

If you don't have boot scripts and you are coming from some old kernel or different distribution, rather use this tools to upgrade:

wget -q -O - http://upgrade.armbian.com | bash

Make sure to make a backup if anything goes wrong.

 

For manual procedure check this ...

Boot script is here. Place to /boot/boot.cmd ... than recompile.

[Pasco35]

Thank you very much for this support Igor. But, It is exactly this procedure which does not work here. The line of following command creates me of multiple errors in the shell (root) :

wget -q -O - http://upgrade.armbian.com| bash 

Ecoutez la traduction

I thus look for the former(old) method that you had given there is approximately 6 in 8 months (before what contains the script) please?

 

I remember that this line of command(order) was the last one to make in your former(old) procedure:

mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr

 

 

But before this last line of command(order), you gave it others (you gave the former(old) manual method to make to update the kernel), and that's what I try to find thanks to you today.

 

Thank you very much Igor.

[Pasco35]

Hello Igor, I do not know if you remember yourselves, but the old method to update the Kernel was on this page http://www.armbian.com/olimex-lime-2/(it contained the old lines of command), thank you very much Igor. I always try to make you a transfer Payal. I wait for your help(assistant), thank you very much Igor...

[Igor]

I don't understand what problems do you have.  The manual procedure is written here. 

 

 

Here goes a copy / paste for your particular case:

 

 

1. You need to add repository if you don't already have it and update packages.

echo "deb http://apt.armbian.com $(lsb_release -cs) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list
apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 0x93D6889F9F0E78D5
apt-get update

2. Create boot script

cd /boot
rm boot.cmd
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/igorpecovnik/lib/second/config/boot.cmd
mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr 

3. Install packages

 

apt-get install linux-u-boot-lime2
apt-get install linux-image-sun4i
apt-get install linux-headers-sun4i
apt-get install linux-firmware-image-sun4i
apt-get install linux-$(lsb_release -cs)-root-lime2

 

If some package say some duplicate error or something, remove that package and install that one again.

 

4. Reboot

[Pasco35]

Ho Thank you very much, is operating ! My procedure : (i removed all packages with shell error during the install) 

 

1.

echo "deb http://apt.armbian.com $(lsb_release -cs) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list
apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 0x93D6889F9F0E78D5
apt-get update

2.

cd /boot
rm boot.cmd
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/igorpecovnik/lib/second/config/boot.cmd
mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr

3.

apt-get install linux-u-boot-lime2-next
apt-get install linux-image-next-sunxi
apt-get install linux-headers-next-sunxi
apt-get install linux-firmware-image-next-sunxi
apt-get install linux-dtb-next-sunxi
apt-get install linux-$(lsb_release -cs)-root-next-lime2

4.

reboot

Thank you very much Igor, good "next"...

Oups... my uname -a

root@lime2:/home/bambou2# uname -a
Linux lime2 4.2.3-sunxi #2 SMP Sun Oct 11 14:12:18 CEST 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux
root@lime2:/home/bambou2#

 

[Igor]

Nice to hear that! 

 

I need to work further on the script to be more resilient - that it will done the job in absolutely all situations.

[Pasco35]

No, no, it's my fault, I had kept this old following files (I know it nothing on Linux), I removed them with Synaptic, (at this moment there the kernel 4.2.3 was installed with youre method) :

linux-firmware-image-3.4.106

linux-firmware-image-3.4.107

linux-firmware-image-3.4.108

and :

 

linux-headers-3.4.106

linux-headers-3.4.107

linux-headers-3.4.108

and :

 

hostapd 1:2.3-1+deb8u3

It had been months since I tried everything to change kernel,(but it was impossible without the old lines of manual commands). I have to break two three things, and badly to clean. It doesn't matter, see you soon, good continuation Igor, and thank you very much for your work.
