makerbase-mks / MKS-PI

As we all know, the Klipper firmware has the advantages of high printing speed, high precision, and the ability to use the web page to control the printer, etc. MKS PI is a high-end microcomputer board designed by makerbase to replace the Raspberry Pi for the convenience of 3D printing users to use the Klipper firmware. In terms of hardware, MKS PI has a powerful 4-core 64-bit SOC onboard, with 1GBytes of DDR3 memory, supports HDMI screen interface and PI-TS35 screen interface, provides Ethernet port, 3-channel USB interfaces (can be connected to a 3D printer main board, USB Wireless network card, USB camera, U disk, USB keyboard and mouse, etc.); In terms of software, Makerbase provides a complete Klipper firmware transplanted based on the Armbian desktop system, and directly supports klipperScreen. Users only need to download the image file provided by Makerbase, burn it to the TF card, without a lot of construction work, use the usb port or serial port to connect your main board, configure the parameters on the webpage, and you can use the Klipper firmware happily!

Please provide image based on Bullseye release (Debian 11) instead of Buster (Debian 10) #52

Since Debian Buster (Debian 10) has reached End of Life and End of Support, it should no longer be used. As new updated versions of Klipper interfaces Mainsail and Fluidd are phasing out support for Buster and require Bullseye to be in place, providing a Buster based image is problematic and requires large amount of work from an end user to keep system up do date and running, especially where amateur Linux users can make a lot of mistakes. For example Crowsnest >4.0.0 fully requires Bullseye and camera will no longer work if kept up to date.

use firmware Armbian-makerbase-k5.16.20-EN-20230321.img this without issue .

fryc88 commented 1 year ago

But image Armbian-makerbase-k5.16.20-EN-20230321.img is still based on buster, so that does not answer his concern...

BTT is much more serious, since they appear in Armbian. I do regret boughting MKS, with such a lack of support. With no response from MKS during one month on this issue, I understand they don't care maintaining this product. Hopefully, it seams there is an alternative here: https://github.com/redrathnure/armbian-mkspi

FYI please check redrathnure/armbian-mkspi release page, perhaps you will find something useful here.

I'm in the middle of upgrading manually using instructions from this link https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/update-upgrade-debian-10-to-debian-11-bullseye/

I will let you know how it goes!

EDIT It didn't go - I had to reinstall. I am going to have a look at @redrathnure repo and go from there
