Raspberry Pi – updating

Abstract: This is how to update the OS and firmware on Raspberry Pi

apt-get install git-core
Command Description

Update the firmware
You will need to reboot for these changes to work.
You may need to delete /boot/config.txt and allow Linux to reconfigure itself.
Note: any additional modules you have loaded will be lost (and will probably be for the wrong kernel version).
