In the newest image "Armbian_21.02.1_Rockpro64_focal_current_5.10.12_desktop.img" I downloaded the "Armbian config" the Source download choice box does not have the version "5.10.12" as a choice. The "headers" option does download the proper version. How do I get the source for it?

apt install linux-source-5.10.12-current-rockchip64

headers seem missing....

 

Edit: Just lacking a bit behind. Update kernel and get matchin headers for it:

apt update && apt upgrade -y && linux-headers-current-rockchip64

 

Should give you 5.10.17 plus headers at this date.

maybe adding apt install before linux-headers-current-rockchip64 helps

Had done it previously but again...

and still no results (the tar file i got from the linux sources);

You changed the title to headers but really trying to use the Armbian_config tool to load the source for the running version....

Trying to port things over to this version and specifically trying to get the gpiod stuff and spidev working and easier to just look

and see if I have the source for what is running. gpiod was just easy and simply an apt away and spi was twiddling with the

dtb/dts file and etc. to get the devices.... but to write drivers and etc. need the source. Used Armbian_config on other versions

and it just downloads and installs the source.

Kernel headers are tied to the kernel, while source package you can select. I didn't have any troubles by getting a correct version by using armbian-config but on nightly builds, which are installed on our test devices. Try to remove both packages and install them again or move to nightly builds, where I just came to:

We really struggle to pay for the costs "customers" create on support https://forum.armbian.com/subscriptions/ 

Not sure of how to get to "nightly" builds as not a option that I find?

armbian-config -> system

 

So why don't the stock methods work? Why should I go to the supposedly "unstable" version?

I am not sure that it doesn't work - I only tested on my build which runs nightly and same kernel family / similar board. And also if it doesn't, we need someone that will donate his/her time to fix that. Until then, nothing will happen. https://github.com/armbian/build#support

Its as stable / unstable as ArchLinux.

 

This is not professional technical support. It's a community forum and I am giving you hints and shed some light on the problem, since I have no time to dive into the problem with you. "try this", "try that" ... 

Seriously confused now so tried to start from the beginning..... new sd... booted, update. upgrade, Armbian_config to the non-stable version (even have the red screen background) then did the download of headers and source... the result;

 

uname -a
Linux rockpro64 5.10.17-rockchip64 #trunk.125 SMP PREEMPT Wed Feb 17 12:29:35 UTC 2021 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

 

Then when I do Armbian_config I show only the source for 5.10.6

 

 

Did you reboot after upgrade? And then select for sources?

You still can do everything manually:
https://imola.armbian.com/apt/pool/main/l/

download packages you need and install them. Why would you need some menu driven luxury?

Yes rebooted after the upodate/upograde, made sure it was in "attached to beta repository", my only choices to download the source are

5.10.6 -9 and 5.9.16

Now I also could recreate on one machine - its a bug ... either in this code https://github.com/armbian/config/blob/master/debian-config-jobs#L191-L274 or repository management.

It can be solved addressed in a couple of weeks - months fastests.
