Would m64 borad update kernel to 4.14?? about bpi-m64-firmware

Possible, Kernel 4.1x is missing CSI (camera) and some others things for a Desktop usage. Maybe if AW release new kernel (i think is 4.4) this could change in a near future. Let's wait for the next AW move, until there don't expect much improvement.

So disapoint that Kernel 4.4 didn't support TCP BBR. (It need linux kernel 4.9+)
One more thing. Why Armbian support Banana Pi( same AW A64 CPU) but no support Bananapi M64?
I have to complain.
Banana pi M64 like Orphan. Resource is very shortage.
Pine A64 got same AW A64 CPU. But I saw that Pine A64 Mainline kernel is still ongoing.
How about Banana PI M64??

I have to say I buy this Bananapi M64 board because you and this doop firmware.
Stable, fast and can boot from emmc.
Thanks again, avafinger.

Armbian works on modern kernel 4.13 but is a WiP and still in early stage.
As for the Pìne64, there are more kernel developers involved and the board came earlier, so more info.
Things will change soon with 4.14, there is already limited support for M64 (4.1x). To take advantage of the M64 features old kernel is needed, but don't worry M64 development is not stalled.

Closing, there are now Kernel 4.19 from Armbian and 5.2 ofor testing here: https://github.com/avafinger/bananapi-m64-kodi
