Yeah, a normal apt update/apt upgrade is all you need. on the 27th, we did add the package "libpam-systemd" by default to fix an issue where your ssh session would lock up if you told the board to reboot.. Now it cleanly exits when it gets a signal from systemd. With our images, the "kernel" isn't auto updated. This allows users to stay on whatever kernel version they started development on: (With options from: 3.8.x/3.14.x/4.1.x/4.4.x/4.9.x/4.14.x....) To get the kernel fixes i pushed this week.. (additional pwm, uart, can) just run: cd /opt/scripts/tools/ git pull sudo ./update_kernel.sh sudo reboot (the kernel is around 23MB download size).. Regards, -- Robert Nelson https://rcn-ee.com/
