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)..
