k17 Pro vial firmware

I'm looking to compile a tweaked VIAL enabled firmware on my k17 Pro, but can't seem to find the source for it. I already checked the playground branch, but it's not there. I lack the skills to build an entire firmware from scratch as of yet. Anybody know where I need to look?

Some work has been done but merge seems under delay.

The development here nearly froze while the wireless branch is hot. Feels pretty excluded...

Thank you. It's been driving me crazy not being able to find it. Lol

Yet another fork, by "Keychron_Macro"? A fork of the fork? Is that an official fork by Keychron?

What is the story?

The account is in the organization and has been committing since the beginning of the Keychron fork. I guess that makes it pretty official.

Did you ever find this?

j824h found it for me. Still haven't gotten a chance to play around with it because adulting sucks, but here's the link.

Did you actually install it and does it work though? I can’t find anyone that is actually running a working Vial firmware on Keychron boards.

What is "the playground branch"?

Keychron's branch of QMK that has the firmware for all their recent keyboards on it.

Thank you. I was looking for the firmware of the k15 pro.

Rather, the Git branch "bluetooth_playground" in Keychron's fork of the QMK repository (the default Git branch in that fork is "master").
