Hi Loren,
i played with the Milk-V Mars CM for some time but didn't got it to work yet. I was and am still hoping that Marvin can do some work there :-)
Some caveats I learned from the Milk-V Mars CM that might also apply for the Melee:
* You can only use the eMMC or the SD-Card, not both at the same time * If you have the eMMC version, flashing the eMMC is best done with the provided tool in Windows. I raised the topic [1] some time ago, but so far no response.
That's very odd. I do have a Windows machine around that I can use if I need to, but I'd definitely prefer to flash the eMMC from Linux.
* The UART serial terminal is the most robust way to interact. HDMI might (or might not) work, and you won't see the output from before the Kernel loads. Having the UART in place helps
I would assume that HDMI output should work fine out of the box, since Milk-V has a custom Debian-based image that is intended for desktop use. Also, they recently announced that Canonical has created an official Ubuntu image for the Mars, so I would expect that they'd get HDMI out working good for that. Maybe that's more of a problem with the compute module.
Beware that Mars is based on StarFive's JH7110 while Meles is using Alibaba T-Head TH1520 SoC. This is a totally different story and what might work on Mars might be totally broken on Meles. Regards, Matthias
I hope this gives you some help and wish you a lot of fun with the little device!
Best, phoenix :-)
Cheers, Loren

Hey all!
I recently ordered a Milk-V Meles[0]; while it hasn't shipped yet, I'm hoping to port openSUSE to the board once I get it, so I thought I'd get a head start by figuring out what all is involved in porting openSUSE to a new RISC-V board. Can anybody give me any pointers to get started?
Thanks, Loren
