Hi, I'm new to RISC-V and U-Boot and I'm having some trouble getting Fedora running on my new VisionFive 2 (8GB) + eMMC. Are there any recommended guides that I should read?
<thefossguy>
There is no `starfive_visionfive2.dtb` in your `/config/<dtb-kern-ver>`
<thefossguy>
At the moment, the VF2 is unsupported by upstream. David says basic support to get the board booting should land soon with the 6.5 kernel.
<BrandonDunne[m]>
Oh, interesting.
<thefossguy>
I have a VF2 and I’m waiting for it too :)
<BrandonDunne[m]>
What OS are you currently running?
<thefossguy>
Meanwhile try [cwt](<https://matrix.to/#/@cwt:matrix.org>)'s Arch Linux image if the vendor’s debain is too old for you
<thefossguy>
I have a custom Arch Linux image that I’m using
<BrandonDunne[m]>
Ok, thanks! I'll keep an eye on this channel and give Arch a try for now. I've been using Fedora on my laptop for years now and thought that would be a familair place to start.

David will be more helpful once he is online/wakes up :)
<BrandonDunne[m]>
Again, I'm fairly new, but is there any way I could help the project?
<thefossguy>
I'm not even a Fedora maintainer XD
<thefossguy>
Just an enthusiast like you ;)
<thefossguy>
Again, David knows way more than me
<thefossguy>
He should be online in one or two hours
<BrandonDunne[m]>
It's getting late here (US east coast) so I'll probably be back tomorrow. Thanks again!
<thefossguy>
No worries, night! :)
<davidlt[m]>
Morning.
<thefossguy>
Morning :)

Brandon Dunne: Yes, we currently don't support VF2, but we are in a constant talk with StarFive folks for years now.
<davidlt[m]>
The basic support landed in v6.4, but that didn't provide an expected user experience (e.g. storage is not visible yet, etc.)
<davidlt[m]>
The hopes are that things will be sorted enough for v6.5.
<davidlt[m]>
There are more issues, but hopefully all of them will be ironed out sooner than later.
<thefossguy>
I’ve not monitored it since a few weeks. Other than the gpu and the mmc; of what is merged, what needs fixing?
<davidlt[m]>
I haven't followed closely, but at least one more driver got approved IIRC.
<davidlt[m]>
I think the clock driver has not been sorted out yet.
<thefossguy>
Ouch, okay
<davidlt[m]>
Brandon Dunne: Yes, you can help us out. Have you ever worked on Fedora packaging side?
