The first version of the JOD Smart Van distribution is available online via the source code repository.

This distribution is based on the 2.2.4-DEV version of the JOD daemon. In this way it is possible to exploit the new workers for DBus and optimize global performance.

Included in this version, we find the firmware for integrating Victron solar chargers. This firmware reads the data published by the device through the VE.Direct serial cable, after which it transmits it to the JOD daemon via DBus. Actually it supports SmartSolar and BlueSolar series devices with the VE.Direct port. More info about this firmware on his repository.
