  6. Geil, mein #VisionFive 2 #RISCV SBC kam heute mit der Post 😍

  7. @gyptazy Starfive #VisionFive 2 is available on German Amazon from several shops and even shipped by Amazon

  8. #StarFive #VisionFive2 Quad-Core #RISCV Performance #Benchmarks
    The #VisionFive 2 was a fun #SBC to play around with for the ~$100 price tag but don't expect much out of its performance at this time. Any similarly-priced #AArch64 #singleboardcomputer is almost surely to perform much better than the VisionFive 2 until the RISC-V software ecosystem as a whole matures, more #opensource developers gaining access to RISC-V for testing and software optimizations, etc.

  9. @xue35 follow github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issue for #nixos #riscv progress.

    some people had it running, but many packages are not compatible yet and i think there is no official binary cache, so you have to build everything yourself or use a community binary cache

    here is for example hardware specific config for a #StarFive #VisionFive 2 SBC: github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardwar

    or a #Pine64 #Star64: github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardwar

  10. @tealeg Can you share more details about your adventures getting your #Starfive #VisionFive 2 board to work?

  11. "I'll just quickly knock out a #Signal bot and run it on that spare #StarFive #VisionFive 2 I've got kicking around" he said. Enter a rabbit hole of #Riscv 64, #Debian, #Java, #Rust.... anyhow. At least I've got a sensible Linux distro running of the SSD now.

    The future is open with hardware, too. When will we be able to, say, GAME on these? :thinkhappy:

  15. Very impressed to see #Ubuntu addressed all the pitfalls in the installation instructions for the just-announced support for the #RISCV #StarFive #VisionFive 2. I hope we will as well see support for the #Sipeed #TH1520 in future.

  16. Right. Fingers crossed this one doesn't break ... 2

  18. So apparently someone is flashing a #VisionFive #RISCV from a #Nix one liner: `nix run github:matthewcroughan/visionfive-nix#flashBootloader /dev/ttyUSB0
    ` 🤯

  19. So; what we have here is a StarFive VisionFive 2 Risc-5 SBC and running #OctoPrint

    It's running the `debian69` build from December, latest firmware and Uboot, And.. a custom kernel that I compiled myself with CONFIG_USB_SERIAL* enabled. I compiled this on the VF2 itself; An hour or so with -j4 and the root disk on an NVMe.

    It's connected via USB to my Duet3D powered 3D delta printer, and to an elderly Logitech USB webcam.

    I'm running OctoPrint and MJPEG-streamer-experimental on it, both are working (and working well).

    Installation of both OctoPrint and MJ-streamer was flawless, exactly the same steps that I'd do on a Pi, both worked first time. I imported a backup from the Pi that normally controls this machine into Octoprint, disabled the PSU control plugin since that is Pi-GPIO specific, and was printing this 10 mins later....

    I am rather impressed at how far along Linux/Risc-V is getting.

  20. I took another look at the vendor's asm code and the SiFive U7 core manual. Lo and behold!

    Let me tell you a secret:
    Enabling interrupts allows for triggering them. 🙃

    So here we have both harts. Woop woop! 🥳

    I have rebased onto #Linux HEAD (6.2 some RC) which has a lot of patches already and it's very close to a working #kexec on the #JH7100 / #VisionFive 1 now.

    It says bye, but never hello again. :3 Sooo close!

  27. Gotta ramp things up a bit, so here's news on #oreboot on the #VisionFive: I've figured out that we already had the code for switching to the other UART pin header, and documented and reenabled things.

    So yay, we can now start booting from SRAM and output is good! \o/

    In next week's live stream, we'll see about a second stage where we bring #RustSBI into the mix. We may introduce the #xtask based build setup already.

  28. So what are we going to explore in today's #oreboot and #RISCV stream?

    I'll try a run from flash on the #VisionFive, and then step back a bit and talk about the #firmware boot flow, flash layout, and building up a #framework.

    See you again at 20:00 CEST!

  29. Since it hadn't worked out last week - sorry again! - we're going to do this today. Tune in again in 45 minutes, at 20:00 CEST, for the next session of #oreboot #firmware on the #VisionFive #RISCV board!

    twitch.tv/cyrevolt 👈

    Will we get to run our own code? Let's see! 🥳

  30. Next up for this Wednesday: A closer look at the #VisionFive mask ROM, live again at 20:00 CEST. Tune in for another #RISCV development stream, where we bring forward #oreboot, which is #firmware written in #Rust.

    Sorry for not making it last week. I was in another city for a conference and the hotel Wi-Fi didn't like me that day. -_-

  31. Hey #firmware, #RISCV, #hardware and #Rust folks!
    I'm getting a #VisionFive board from RISC-V Foundation as part of the developer program, to which I'll bring the #oreboot port further that we already have for the BeagleV.

    Would you like to watch along on Twitch?
