the easyest way to do what you want would probably to try one of the 3.16 kernels from wheezy-backports: https://wiki.debian.org/Backports https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=wheezy-backports&arch=armhf&searchon=names&keywords=linux-image-3 you would also have to tell uboot to boot this kernel Another way (without building a kernel) would be to upgrade to a maintained version of Debian for ARM: Stretch (Debian 9). You could do that either by upgrading online (Wheezy->Jessie, then Jessie->Stretch, a direct Wheezy->Stretch being much more risky) or by a fresh install of Stretch. A benefit from Stretch would be the avaibility of grub-uboot: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/grub-uboot
