A bit late but may help others.

 

The output/debs directory contains a number of debian package files (.deb). The 2 relevant to the kernel are linux-image-xxxxx and linux-headers-xxxxxx. If you rysnc those onto your board, you can then install with 

sudo dpkg -i path/to/linux-xxxx.deb

I was looking for a way to update a kernel for my board and i found easy and complete way to do it in armbian docs:

 

basically the way is to use armbian-config utility. If you are missing the program just:

sudo apt-get install armbian-config

And here is entire instruction:

https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Config/

 

as a note, you can do way more with this utility it is pretty handy to know it
