Upgrade raspbian from Pi B+ to Pi 2B+

Fri Jun 24, 2016 2:47 pm

Hello

I got a system working just fine on the RPi 1, all versions (A, B, B+). The system is based in Raspbian but it wasn't designed by me, so i don't specifically what it modifies on the original Raspbian.

The App is simply (i guess), it uses python, html and something called "Supervisord". I simply copy the entire SD Card from one Pi to other in order to "install" the program.

I bouth a RPi2 and i need to make the image booteable. I don't care if i got two separates images, but its better if i only got one that works fine for the two different processors.

Thanks for your time

Are you saying a copy of your SD card doesn't boot on the Pi2?

Pi1, 2 and 3 all use the same software, but there are some kernel driver/firmware updates for the newer systems. If a straight copy of your card doesn't boot in the Pi2, put the card back into your other system, then run a:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
After that has finished, shut down and put the card back into the Pi2 and try it.
My mind is like a browser. 27 tabs are open, 9 aren't responding,
lots of pop-ups...and where is that annoying music coming from?

If you are using Raspbian Wheezy you will also have to undertake a rpi-update to have the latest kernel.

Though you should be moving to Raspbian Jessie as Wheezy is end of life ;)
