Hi,

 

as I had set up my CubieTruck I decided to go with Legacy Wheezy ... Now I think about become a bit more current :-)

 

Option 1 is to Upgrade to Legacy Jessie ... This is described in the documentation and hopefully should work that way, Correkt?

 

Or Option 2 would be to go to Vanilla Jessie. Is this possible too? How?

 

Thank you for your support,

 

Ingo

Possible if you are using SD boot, not possible if you use NAND.

 

You need to install at least: uboot , kernel and dtb files

After problems with NAND earlier I changed to /boot on SD-card and root on SATA ... have to check this (should be possible while checking where /boot ist, or ?!) :-)

 

So I assume I need to upgrade to Legacy Jessie first and then change to vanilla kernel by installing uboot , kernel and dtb files?

Or change kernel first whicl still on wheezy and upgrade then to Jessie ... correct?

Both ways should work.

 

If you are changing and tweaking things around double check if kernel installation was done properly after you done that.

How should I do this?!

Normally I simply use it :-) I'm not the linux freak :-)

I'd like to know too. I want to upgrade legacy trusty to vanilla kernel, i'm using SD card. (and if this works, a distro upgrade too)

Development version is about to be added ASAP.
