Kernel updates

Recommended Posts

I have simple Banana Pi. I have Armbian on it installed on Feb this year. I can see in Changelog that there were no kernel updates for this (A20) board.

 

Will there be any kernel updates? And when?

A10, A20, H3, H5, A64, H6, A83T, ... based boards share the same kernel. We build one 32 (linux-image-sunxi-next) and one 64bit (linux-image-sunxi64-next)binary from it. We need to be very sure that upgrade won't break any of the supported board main features and to achieve that, we need to do a lot of, mostly manual, testings. This operation is huge, complex and expensive. From our tiny team perspective.

A20 boards are very well supported in a current kernel and don't get much if any advantages with a kernel upgrade. All others.
