Pi0 6.6 support

[renewedbullet]

Describe the bug

RPI website and RPI imager show the image for pi0 lite was update 3/12 along with all the others, and on the website the legacy os says its kernel 6.6 but the rpi 0w does not update to 6.6 it stays 6.1. Is the RPI 0w being discontinued from future kernel updates?

update to latest lite image, uname -r , sudo apt-get dist-upgrade says nothing to update.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -r
6.1.21+

Device (s)

Raspberry Pi Zero W / WH

System

We are not dropping support for Pi Zero. Did you reboot after the update?

I think the issue is about the legacy release, which hasn't had any kernel or firmware updates in a while.

[renewedbullet]

RPI imager only gives the option for (legacy) for the pi0

and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade does not work either. multiple reboots

Errh, you need to change the release from bullseye to bookworm in /etc/apt/source.list

That would cause a lot of problems. Do not do this.

No it doesn't - the website says that Raspberry Pi OS legacy is still on kernel version 6.1. I'm running Raspberry Pi OS legacy myself, and can confirm that it does indeed use kernel version 6.1. This is entirely expected - you would not expect the legacy OS to get a bump in kernel version - it only gets a new kernel if there are security issues that need patched.

Indeed it does.
