The r5 archive for the Octagon SF8008 and SF8008 MINI: Wi-Fi, starting without a cable and the wait for libreader
29 October 2026
The r5 archive has everything r4 has, plus: Wi-Fi with the RTL8192EU, RTL8821CU, RTL8822CU and MT7601U USB adapters; the start without a network cable no longer waits for the network; again the wait of at most one minute for the board program (libreader), so that a board on which it does not bring up the interface still reaches the diagnostics, and the start step on the front display and on the screen; the system log is no longer filled with HDMI-CEC messages.
If you already have r2, r3 or r4 on an SF8008, you also get the Wi-Fi drivers through Menu > Settings > Software & Firmware > Software update (once, with the network cable plugged in); the adapter then works without a restart.
The first Amiko Viper 4K (V10) stays on the r4 archive.
