How to upgrade Armbian and DSF

Upgrading Armbian

To upgrade the underlying OS, use the following command over SSH or over a console connection.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Upgrading DSF

There is an upgrade script built into the TeamGloomy release of Armbian.
When you invoke it, you must also pass through a version number for the version of DSF you wish to install. To use it, as an example, send the following command over SSH or over a console connection.

rrf_upgrade latest-stable

This will upgrade to the latest stable version. latest-unstable can also be used as an argument. An argument must always be added to the end of rrf_upgrade so it knows which version to install.

If you are wanting to upgrade/downgrade to a specific version, you can also pass the version number through to the upgrade script.

rrf_upgrade 3.4-b7

A list of the available arguments for the script can be found below.
