NetBSD VisionFive 2 Test Report

Test Environment

System Information

• System Version: NetBSD-current
• Download Link: riscv64.img.gz (The required dtb files are included in the image)

Hardware Information

• StarFive VisionFive 2
• Power Adapter
• A microSD Card
• A USB to UART Debugger

Installation Steps

Flashing the Installation Image

Use gzip to decompress the image. Use dd or balenaEtcher to flash the image to the microSD card.

sudo dd if=riscv64.img of=/dev/<your-device> bs=1M status=progress

Booting the System

Insert the microSD card, connect the serial port, and use 1-bit QSPI Nor Flash mode (i.e. RGPIO_0 = 0, RGPIO_1 = 0) to boot.

Manually interrupt the u-boot process and input the boot command:

load mmc 1:1 ${fdt_addr_r} dtb/starfive/jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-v1.3b.dtb
load mmc 1:1 ${kernel_addr_r} efi/boot/bootriscv64.efi
bootefi ${kernel_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r}

Enter the auto install mode, reboot and re-enter the above startup commands if need to reboot.

Persist Uboot

env default -a -f
setenv bootcmd "load mmc 1:1 ${fdt_addr_r} dtb/starfive/jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-v1.3b.dtb; load mmc 1:1 ${kernel_addr_r} efi/boot/bootriscv64.efi; bootefi ${kernel_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r}"
saveenv

Logging into the System

Log into system as root,without password.

Expected Results

The system should boot normally and allow login via the onboard serial port.

Actual Results

The system booted successfully and login via the onboard serial port was also successful. But can’t connect ethernet.

Welcome to NetBSD!

-- UNSAFE KEYS WARNING:

        The ssh host keys on this machine have been generated with
        not enough entropy configured, so they may be predictable.

        To fix, follow the "Adding entropy" section in the entropy(7)
        man page.  After this machine has enough entropy, re-generate
        the ssh host keys by running:

                /etc/rc.d/sshd keyregen
We recommend that you create a non-root account and use su(1) for root access.
