Upgrading to Bullseye?

Martin Kudláček

Hi @knebb,
we are currently working on the Bullseye packages for the Unipi PLCs, but some important are still missing. The official release from our side will be after the official release of the RaspberryPI OS.

Best regards,
Martin

and what about OS for Patron devices? When we can expect (stable & fully functional) upgrade of Node-Red OS or OpenSource OS? Thank you

Hi @lukas009,
it is the same issue. We will release Bullseye OS images once the support for all products is done. Looks like it could be next month.

Best regards,
Martin

Hi,

sorry again for annoying. I am still conmsidering upgrading. Unfortunately my quastion about how I can see if it it ready for Bullseye has not been answered.

From my point of view with the links I originally provbided it looks like it has not been upgraded up to now. Am I right here?

Thanks& Greetings

Hi,

We would also be interested in a bullseye upgrade for Unipi Neuron Series as we are currently facing issues with the systemd version that comes with buster.

Any updates on this matter?

Best regards,

Romain

March has been gone now since two months.

So I am getting the feeling there is no effort put into getting it lifted to current stable?

Would be a pitty....

Hello everybody,

we have good news!
All packages from the Unipi repository already have their version for Bullseye (Debian 11).

Unfortunately it took a little longer as it was not as easy as it first seemed, but now our packages can be used on all Unipi controllers with Debian 11.

We are now working on Bullseye OS images that we will release in the coming months. OS images will not be released immediately because we are working on a new unified approach to information about the controller and its peripherals.

For Unipi Neuron and Unipi 1.1 it is now possible to use the RaspberryPi OS image.

Best regards,
Antonin

@AVsetula is it possible to get an early access to the debian 11 image ? Just got a set of 25 neurons and I'd rather use debian 11 even if it is still beta.

Hi all,

anyone having a hint how to upgrade now to Debian 11? I do not want to risk my installation here....

For Debian/ Raspbian I will have to replace "buster" with "bullseye", right?
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list:

deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ buster main ui

Additionally I need to do the same here, correct?
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/unipi.list:

deb https://repo.unipi.technology/debian buster main

Once edited, run apt update; apt full-upgrade; apt autoremove based on this tutorial.

Is this the way to go?

Greetings

I did as shown above. Ended in an Neuron M103 not booting :(

Unfortunately I do not have a possibility to attach a screen to M103 (or can I use the HDMI of the inner Raspi?)

I ended up in restoring the previous image.

So I can not even tell what the issue was- I guess some kernel/ grub based issues.

At current stage I would recommend against the above upgrade procedure.
