MKS-Klipad50
These single board computers are built by Makerbase and sold as Sovol’s “KlipperScreen”, an addon for their SV06/SV07 3D-printers that contains a preinstalled Klipper system. The boards are not sold separately and there is absolutely no information about them on either the Makerbase web site or their github repository. In well-known Makerbase tradition, they don’t offer any support or information (at least not to end-users).

Armbian integration
The Klipad50 boards require the same kernel patches as the MKS-PI/MKS-SKIPR boards, but their devicetree configuration is quite different.
The MKS-Klipad50 changes are now integrated into mainline Armbian.
The devicetree definitions in the Armbian images have been reverse-engineered from the decompiled dtb of the original image for that board.
See Armbian images for details how this board is supported.
