• VisionFive 2 ROM addresses for Zephyr RTOS
  3 projects | /r/RISCV | 5 Dec 2023

  I am working on adding support for VisionFive 2 in Zephyr RTOS. I have created a device tree by referencing the starfive linux, patches of hifive_unmatched FU740 SoC and patches of BeagleV Starlight.

• PineTab-V is a $159 tablet with a RISC-V processor (and virtually no software support)
  2 projects | /r/RISCV | 5 Apr 2023

  But what about now, RIGHT NOW? It's still a good news: if you have already received your PineTab-V (excuse my sarcasm and skepticism), you can build kernel from StarFive repository: https://github.com/starfive-tech/linux/tree/JH7110_VisionFive2_upstream and install it on Debian Sid using these steps https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official.

• [LTT] I Can Save You Money! – Raspberry Pi Alternatives

  Much of required support things for RISC-V SBC's across the board are incomplete/missing in mainline Linux device tree. VF2 is better than most random ARM SBC boards though, and there are efforts to upstream/mainline. RISC-V SBCs are just too new as a product category for mainline support to be possible quite yet. StarFive are open about this and the checklists/efforts going on: https://github.com/starfive-tech/linux/tree/visionfive and https://github.com/starfive-tech/VisionFive2

• Has a detailed VisionFive-2 Memory Map and/or Register Explanation Been Release?
  3 projects | /r/RISCV | 21 Jan 2023

  Be prepared to dig. It's not served on a platter yet. Figuring which of { , starfive-tech/VisionFive2, https://github.com/starfive-tech/Fedora_on_StarFive, https://github.com/starfive-tech/linux, and a few more on any given topic can be exhaustive.

• Received my early bird StarFive VisionFive 2 8GB model!
  1 project | /r/RISCV | 10 Dec 2022

  A couple of people received them today. It is odd that the boards are making it to the users, but the doc is still embargoed and images aren't available. I suppose users are expected to harvest tech doc from https://github.com/starfive-tech/linux and build a kernel there onto an existing Ubuntu or Fedora or whatever. It looks like someone almost succeeded just a few hours ago https://forum.rvspace.org/t/os-options-for-vf2/864/3 so that's the thread to watch.
