Still on kernel 3.14 after updating to LE 9.0.1

Kashim · February 27, 2019 at 12:00 AM

I just updated my WeTek Play 2 to LE 9.0.1, but it still says my kernel is 3.14 and not 4.19. It shows that I have LE 9.0.1 and KODI 18.1, but for some reason my Linux version stayed the same. Is there something more I need to do other than the normal update process to get my kernel updated too?

[edit] Sorry, I posted this in the wrong section and there's no option to move or delete my post. Maybe a mod could move it to the help section, thanks.

Amlogic devices still use kernel 3.14.

Ok, thanks for the reply. Anyone know if there are plans to move beyond 3.14 in the future for amlogic devices? I'm not finding much info about this subject.

Does LE 9.0 support Khadas VIM AND Khadas VIM2?

3.14 will be replaced in a future relase. Post #5.

There are balbes150 test images available in this forum if you want to have a play with 5.0 kernel images. For 1080p/8-bit/2.0 video things are super stable but 4k/10-bit and multi-channel audio development is still work in progress.
