Upgrade the Kernel Only

This tutorial describes how to upgrade only the kernel, without upgrading the whole system.

Upgrade the Kernel

If you only want to upgrade the kernel without upgrading the whole system, run the following commands:

radxa@radxa-dragon-q8b$

sudo apt update
sudo apt install linux-image-radxa-dragon-midstream linux-headers-radxa-dragon-midstream

After the installation is complete, reboot the system to make the new kernel take effect:

radxa@radxa-dragon-q8b$

sudo reboot

After reboot, you can verify the current kernel version with the following command:

radxa@radxa-dragon-q8b$

uname -r
