Currently running November version of braiins on bootable SD
Can someone explain how to upgrade to January version
Can it be done via ssh? Or do I have to burn image to ssd card again?
Docs are confusing for us non programmers

Upgrade the package firmware after refreshing the packages. Using the web ui:

  • Update the repository information by clicking on Update lists button in the System > Software menu. In case the button is missing, the system has to be rebooted!
  • Once done, proceed to update the firmware package.

Or via ssh: opkg update && opkg install firmware

Yes, you are just going to upgrade a package called "firmware", that's it.
Use of the sd card is always optional. Can be used for temporary testing, or if your controller nand flash storage is damaged somehow.

I think it is best to reflash the SD card.

Be careful you don't end with cloned mac addresses.
