Main laptop: #LinuxMint
Old T430: #NetBSD
#VisionFive2 : irradium (a CRUX Linux derivative for #riscv )
#raspberrypi3 runs openSUSE Tumbleweed
#raspberrypi5 runs Raspberry Pi OS (debian)
Pine A64 also runs #NetBSD like my T430

I already provide ready to use binaries for some systems:

#FreeBSD 14: https://cdn.gyptazy.ch/files/riscv64/freebsd/snac/
#Debian 12: https://cdn.gyptazy.ch/files/riscv64/debian/snac/
#Ubuntu 23.10: https://cdn.gyptazy.ch/files/riscv64/ubuntu/snac/

(Also works on Ubuntu 24.04).

#riscv #ubuntu #ubuntu24 for #visionfive2 is available here apparently
https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/24.04/release/

Need to update Gunther at some point.
#VisionFive2 #RISCV #riscv64 #riscvsbc #raspberrypi #raspberrypi3 #raspberrypi5 #opensourcehardware #sbc #singleboardcomputer

Never worked with #ansible before and I need it for an upcoming project... so I'm using my #VisionFive2 to manage all other #SBC in my home. Even reinstalled my old #raspberrypi 3 with #openSUSE to have a different OS and system in the network xD
The way things look right now I'll have a lot of time on my hands to figure this out...
#RISCV #riscv64 #riscvsbc #ARM #Linux

A: Using my 4x #RV64 #VisionFive2 boards - each board has 8GB. This could lead into a temporary and time limited, dedicated usage of 7-30d.

B: It could be shared across with 7 users by #jails on #FreeBSD. Requires better support in FreeBSD.

C: QEMU emulated instances running on amd64

I’d really like to see rv64 being pushed and it was excactly the reason to get those boards to get more experience on that platform. However, just sharing some ideas - it does not mean that they will be available in the near future (but would be cool if so).

Just to give you a sense of scale, that's this board next to a fully equipped #esp32 D1 Mini, an #esp32s2 dev board and the #VisionFive2 🥹
#esp32c3 #RISCV #riscv32 #microcontroller

This should help all the people that are running on #RV64 hardware (like the #VisionFive2, #MilkV, #LicheePi4A, ...) and also want to run #snac2 as a #ActivityPub instance in the #Fediverse like me.

You can grab it here: https://cdn.gyptazy.ch/files/riscv64/ubuntu/snac/snac_2.49_dev_ubuntu_23.10_riscv64_linux.tgz

@ludovic_dev been playing around with the #VisionFive2 #riscv64 #SBC for a bit now.
Still very excited to see how the architecture and the product offerings for it move forward ^^

I recompiled #Debian #Bookworm (non snapshot) packages for #RISCV. Currently, there're running 7 nodes with QEMU RISC-V images and one native board. Maybe I should simply switch to experimental but I guess in the current situation many new RISCV users will stay on the bookworm snapshot's which has been used as a default by #StarFive for the #VF2 board.

Here's the #neofetch output on the #StarFive #VisionFive2 board based on #RISCV running #Debian #Linux. If you have any question, feel free to ask.

Because I can! For real, it’s an awesome new platform, almost no one is using it for production (because of the limited support (especially currently from an OS perspective), knowledge and performance). However, I’m already running some boards in production, some tests I already shared with you (see also summary) and we saw that it’s easily running my workloads - so why not?

So when speaking about „why not“ my first issue is that it would force me to #Linux #Debian instead of #FreeBSD. It would be the first time since 2008 running personal Linux server instead of BSD based ones. It’s not a knowledge problem, I heavily even contribute to a Debian based distribution as a developer, it’s more an aspect of philosophy.

Attached you can find the #Grafana metrics and the system wasn't bothered in any way... But I also need to say, that everything is running in a very optimized way with a really low footprint in all ways. Thank you all (it were more than 20 people over the whole day) for testing, stress testing and your feedback I got during the day. The next steps will result in replacing ns[01,02] and ntp[01,02] (low performance) with #RISCV (#RISC #RISC64) boards. ns[03,04] and ntp[03,04] will remain on ARM architecture until everything is running stable. Guess, you will see some more RISC64 related content soon - stay tuned!

Board: #StarFive #VisionFive2 with 8GB RAM
