I'm resurrecting my KiwiSDR's V1's after a move, they've been offline since a year ago last june. The legacy beaglebone board Kiwi updated to 1.800 on it's own and is good. I've got a BBAI 64 Kiwi that I just powered up and it's on 1.602. I've been offered version 1.711. Issuing the "dog" command in the console shows the Linux version is 9.13 - is it safe to build v1.711 on the Kiwi? I don't want to make too many changes as both boards are working now until I get my Kiwi-Mojo back up to snuff. 73's Wayne WA2N

    You must really mean "BBAI" and not "BBAI 64" if you're running Debian 9 and that kernel (a non ARM-64 kernel).

    I tried it just now on a BBAI I hadn't run recently. It was running v1.689, offered v1.711, and then updated successfully straight to v1.800 which is what it's supposed to do. Took about 20 minutes.

    So give it a try.

    Yes it is a BBAI, not 64. Thanks John, I will let it update.

    Update was really quick to 1.8, thanks for your help!
