I just noticed armbian.com recently merged support for SV08 Sovol SV08 | Armbian by lexfrei (Aleksei Sviridkin) · GitHub
It looks like he managed to piggyback it on the existing CB1 support in armbian with some tweaks needed for SV08 eMMC support.
Did someone try it out already?
Any issues?
Are all the IO names and functionalities the same as with the image used by Rappetor for going to mainline? Curious if a mainline Klipper config would need any changes.
Very unlikely you’d need changes beyond possible MCU addresses.
As long as all the host side hardware initializes allowing a clean boot you should be golden.
Use the minimal (debian) not the desktop(Ubuntu). The H616 SOM is not a Rpi5.
In case anyone else was interested, it does actually work. My SV08 is now running Kalico on Armbian Linux 6.18.48-current-sunxi64!
Aside from me making some mistakes wrt Klipper config changes and some eddy sensor upgrade struggles, the OS upgrade works well. I did 2 small test prints and that went well.
I did have to change /dev/video0 in crowsnest.conf to /dev/v4l/by-id/usb-USB_Camera_USB_Camera_XXXXXXX-video-index0.
The main reason to upgrade was to run a more recent Linux kernel/OS with more security fixes.
