fevangelou Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Is there a path to upgrading the kernel? E.g. pull it from the up-to-date .img files or something? Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeMan Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Standard process, apt update/upgrade, assuming the kernel isn't frozen in armbian-config. armbian-config also has multiple options on switching kernels (current / edge, stable / nightly builds, etc) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fevangelou Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Thank you. One my Amlogix S905X devices has the balbes150 Armbian build (originally Ubuntu 20.10 with his custom kernel) but updated to Jammy 22.04 latest. $ cat /etc/armbian-release # PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BOARD=arm-64 BOARD_NAME="ARM-64" BOARDFAMILY=arm-64 BUILD_REPOSITORY_URL=https://github.com/150balbes/Build-Armbian.git BUILD_REPOSITORY_COMMIT=62b8c07-dirty DISTRIBUTION_CODENAME=focal DISTRIBUTION_STATUS=supported VERSION=20.10 LINUXFAMILY=arm-64 BRANCH=current ARCH=arm64 IMAGE_TYPE=user-built BOARD_TYPE=conf INITRD_ARCH=arm64 KERNEL_IMAGE_TYPE=Image Using armbian-config I believe I've updated anything that could be updated under System/Firmware & Software/Full (Install full firmware package). The option to switch kernels under System yields no additional options obviously. Is there any chance of upgrading its kernel to the latest supported by the Armbian community builds for these Amlogic devices? E.g. by adding some repo? UPDATE 1: The Ubuntu & Armbian repos are set to the jammy channel already. It's a minimal setup so no other repos are present.

SteeMan Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 The balbes150 builds where never upgradable. You need to use official builds for upgrades. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
