Is the kernel 5.4 is included in this update

Model: GL-AXT1800 Slate
AX
Version: 4.2.1

Or, we have to manually do for the kernel, i mean separate update

???

i think that is a mistake and should not be in Beta as next upgrade. Snapeshot is the latest Firmware

My still question is does the firmware update Version: 4.2.1, does the kernel update also automatically ? If yes, why the new kernel info is not included in what changed info document ? I see no mention of new kernel ? We need list of high level engineering stuffs what is updated ?

Cause my android app, caught the new update package, and I did the upgrade via live android app, and it went damn smooth, last time I had to Cary local files , copy there and do the upgrade

No, 4.2.1 doesn’t include kernel 5.4.

4.2.1 is still running on 4.4.60.

If I recall some discussion that happened on the forum a while ago, the issue is that the kernel hasn’t been compiled for the processor in the ATX-1800. Whereas the processor in the Beryl-AX is more “mainstream” and has been compiled already. I don’t know that it’s possible at this point to upgrade to kernel 5.4 at all on the ATX-1800.

Does the kernel upgrade comes in same package as firmware update ? Or we have to do always separate, and the company has no plan to do in one shot, as in firmware update package

Based on the upgrade I just did using a snapshot version for my XE-300, it’s part of the firmware as after verifying the file it had a pop-up window that stated it contained a new kernel and that “keep settings” should be turned off.

I am bit hesitating to go on by snapshot version, as those nightly build is really risky, i will wait till new firmware pops up and they mention that the new release will also update the kernel as well

I wasn’t suggesting you do. I was just illustrating that the kernel can be updated as part of the normal firmware upgrade.

Thank you very much, as your message is very clear to me. Will wait. Thx
