How do I get back from a 'bone' kernel to a 'ti' one?

Having installed a ‘bone’ kernel to try and get libpruio working I have now decided that’s a bit of a dead end street and I want to get back to a ‘standard’ ti kernel. How does one set about doing this?

The ti kernels are still installed on my system. I suspect I could remove them and reinstall them using apt and that might get me the result I want but it seems rather a roundabout way of doing it.

Please run and report the output of:

dpkg -l | grep bbb.io-kernel

and i’ll give you hints between cooking at the moment…

Hi @chrisisbd

Just run these two commands:

sudo apt remove bbb.io-kernel-5.10-bone --purge
sudo apt install bbb.io-kernel-5.10-ti --reinstall

The first removes the bbb.io-kernel-5.10-bone, the second reruns the bbb.io-kernel-5.10-ti installer so /boot/uEnv.txt get’s updated with the correct kernel version…

sudo reboot

Thanks Robert, that was sort of what I expected was needed but it’s good to have confirmation

What I actually needed to remove was:-

linux-image-5.10.199-bone77

… and reinstall

linux-image-5.10.168-ti-r72

but you pointed me in the right direction. I’ve been having a good meal tonight too, I hope yours went well! :slight_smile:
