31. Later, you could copy the kernel vmlinux-4.5 to the CF card and configure a CFE menu entry.
CFE> setenv -p MENU_2_LABEL "ubuntu MATE 16.04 with kernel 4.5"
CFE> setenv -p MENU_2_COMMAND 'set pmu -astate=A4 ; setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdb9 quiet ro splash" ; boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.5'
