Can this be run from any of the supplied images (Ubuntu etc) using ssh?

Hi, I am using BPI-M2 zero hardware, and the OS installed is Raspbian stretch kernel version is 4.4 which is found in this website https://wiki.banana-pi.org/Banana_Pi_BPI-M2_ZERO. When I try to run this command “sudo apt-get install linux-tools-generic”, it throw the error “unable to locate the package linux-tools-generic”. Is this because of the kernel version is too old? If it is, how can I update the kernel version? In this topic, @BPI_Justin didn’t included the device BPI-M2 zero for update the kernel. Thanks in Advance.
