It's easier to reinstall, but you can upgrade with this:

But I didnt ask how to upgrade to jessie ?

The answer is "Yes you can". Just ensure you're up to date with the patches and it should be fine:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

The has never been a RPi 2B+


As you are using Raspbian Wheezy put the card in the RPi 2B or whatever you have, then:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo rpi-update
sudo reboot

rpi-update is generally not recommended to update kernel /firmware unless advised by Developers,.....
.................but as Wheezy is end of life it is the recommended way to undertake so Wheezy can support the Zero & 3B

FYI dist-upgrade is a misnomer it does not update Wheezy to Jessie: http://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-get
