Different Kernel Versions?

[cachedrive]

I have been using ALARM for a bit now on my RPi2 (Arm7) and this weekend was so excited to set up a new project on the new Odroid C2 (Arm8) however I noticed that after a full system upgrade, the latest kernel version available for my Odroid C2 was:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@c2 ~]# uname -r
3.14.29-21-ARCH')

When I checked my Raspberry Pi2, I see:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@rpi2 ~]# uname -r
4.4.11-1-ARCH')

Both are fresh installs and after a complete system upgrade using:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@c2 ~]# pacman -Syyu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core 172.5 KiB 466K/s 00:00 [##########################################################################] 100%
extra 2.3 MiB 2.62M/s 00:01 [##########################################################################] 100%
community 3.3 MiB 6.42M/s 00:01 [##########################################################################] 100%

aur 28.5 KiB 0.00B/s 00:00 [##########################################################################] 100%
:: Starting full system upgrade...
there is nothing to do ')

Is there a reason for the kernel version mis-match between devices/platforms? Or how can I get my C2 on the 4.x kernel?

my odroid-c2 is

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ' uname -ar
Linux odoroid 3.14.29-16-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 31 19:44:19 MDT 2016 aarch64 GNU/Linux
')


$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ' pacman -Ss linux-aarch
core/linux-aarch64 4.6.0-1
The Linux Kernel and modules - AArch64 multi-platform
core/linux-aarch64-headers 4.6.0-1

')


when pacman -S linux-aarch64 4.6.0-1 , then xfce4's start up screen has changed and it is ugly .

so i again return to the previous kernel .


$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# pacman -Ss linux-aarch

this is strange to me .

That is the current supported kernel from HardKernel, and the rest of the system functionality is not mainlined.

The Pi kernel you have is also not mainlined, and is from the Pi Foundations sources @ github.
