rpi-update

Mon Jan 06, 2014 12:13 pm

I finally found time to power on my 256Mb RPi, preloaded Raspbian wheezy on a SDCard ( raspbian-ua-netinst) and that booted up fine, however yet trying to update my firmware and followed "rpi-update". Unfortuantely I experience " !!! //lib/modules doesn't exist " errors, therefore I hope one can assist how to update to latest firmware on this RPi. Cheers

after reading this topic in more depth it appeared I was able to use "rpi-update" after following " latest kernel and firmware packages " and uname -a now shows:

@pi:~# uname -a
Linux pi 3.10.25+ #622 PREEMPT Fri Jan 3 18:41:00 GMT 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux
