B2 upgrades

Post by pjd »

I know B2 is an old tale already, but I decided to revive it (it was down for some year or two, never had time to go back to it)

Now I'm thinking how I could bring it not only back to life, but to glory.

I have some questions to you guys, and I will be grateful for any responses.

Has anyone tried to install kernel 3.2 on B2?
Is there any official linux-3.2 package? I can see stuff here:
http://b3.update.excito.org/pool/main/l/linux/ (kernels for powerpc, but on the other hand the repo is for B3)
Does moving to Wheezy make sense in your opinion?

Thanks a lot in advance, I will be grateful for any comments.

The B2 and B3 software development has merged, so they're currently the same version. Check the Software Releases forum for more info.

The B2 using a different CPU, the issues may be different, but at present a uboot issue is causing every kernel >3.0 not to boot on B3. A solution is expected with the upcoming kernel 3.15. It will probably take some time though - if ever - for a new bubba-kernel ≥ 3.15 to be released.

How about B2? Does kernel 3.x work fine there?
Is manual upgrade to wheezy worthwhile in your opinion?

Thanks!
