Hi, I would like to understand what the latest firmware for the Sovol SV06 is.
On the page Firmware Download , there is a link to “Sovol SV06 Latest Firmware (24th Feb 2023)” that leads to two files on Google Drive:
“SV06_V1.8.3.bin.crdownload ” dated January 13, 2024
“SV06 Firmware Update Information.docx ” dated January 12, 2024
Inside the docx file, there is mention of firmware SV06V2.0.0A_2.24, which was released in February 2023.
The name of the .bin file, presumably the firmware file, raises several questions:
Why is it named V1.8.3 if the latest version is V2.0.0A_2.24?
Why does it end with .crdownload? crdownload is the extension Chrome adds when a download is incomplete. How can one trust a file named like this?
Why were these files updated a few days ago if V2.0.0A_2.24 is firmware from almost a year ago?
Thank you

Got some help from the Sovol Facebook group, the SV06_V1.8.3.bin.crdownload firmware is an empty file. DO NOT use, it will brick your device.

It appears Sovol has updated the page for firmware updates: Firmware Download . As per this page and the email I received from the support team, the latest firmware version for the stock SV06 as of today is: SV06V2.0.0A_2.24-BCI.bin . In my case, the support team replied in a timely and accurate manner to my support request.
