Having boards from European manufacturers world be really very cool but I guess also much more expensive than the current boards from china. But teaching rv64 assembly is a bit too much, we can be lucky when they teach them at least something in tech :D

"Hey gyptazy, how was your weekend, what did you do?"
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.

So, when it comes to the #StarFive VF2 board I tried to collect some information in general as well as VF2 specific ones. We also have a #RISCV (#risc #risc64 #riscv64) Matrix chat in the #BSDCafe which you can find here:
#RISCV64:bsd.cafe
You can find more to regarding my initial ideas, reasons and information here: https://gyptazy.ch/misc/switching-from-arm64-to-open-riscv-hardware-architecture/
Some #VisionFive (#VisionFive2) specific things like benchmarks, images (collection) or precompiled software like #snac2 (Fediverse instance server), matrix-synapse (Matrix server), #unixbench etc can be found here:
https://gyptazy.ch/misc/collection-of-images-and-information-for-risc64-board-visionfive2/
Keep in mind that not all OS images may work fully and may lack drivers. For my #FreeBSD one for example you can just boot into memory. Debian runs quite well but still needs a custom kernel (do not upgrade the kernel unless you know what you’re doing). Even RISCV is tier 2 level in FreeBSD many things are missing. Pkg completely, ports is a mess. However, you may find QEMU RISCV images to cross-build stuff from your amd64 or ARM64 machine right here: https://gyptazy.ch/misc/freebsd-14-riscv64-build-box-image-for-qemu/
Here you can find a real life test where the board served for a day my whole website (based on #manpageblog) and some other ones:

Btw, here’s a #neofetch output:

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