Hello,
I recently tried to get Tumbleweed running on the VisionFive2 according to https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:VisionFive2 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrly2gV-wMA with no luck.
Flashed the openSUSE-Tumbleweed-RISC-V-JeOS-starfivevisionfive2.riscv64-2023.10.11-Build21.81.raw.xz file to a SD Card and booted the device - The RGPIO bins are in the Well, are you sure? ;)
correct configuration only to discover ... Nothing.
Admittedly I haven't attached a UART terminal adapter, but assumed that or the HDMI output shows something or the device would appear on the network. It didn't either, so I assume the image simply won't work, or I am doing something fundamentally wrong.
Yes, video output is the current WiP, UART is the way to go for now. The 40-pin GPIO is RasPi-compatible in that respect...
Has anyone had any luck in getting Tumbleweed running on a VisionFive2 already?
I'm currently having probs with my SD card or the connector, so I'm not sure, but in principle, by now the VF2 should even run with an unmodified TW kernel. Just make sure you boot using the latest U-Boot Andreas Schwab has crafted in that project and use the serial and you should be fine. (The image you mention above has the right U-Boot). The RGPIO DIP switches pull their respective signal LOW(!) against a pull-up resistor, so "ON" means zero. HTH, Torsten
