Shawn Webb (npub1e7s…04e2) Tara Stella (npub1sav…wxjl) Stefano Marinelli (npub14ca…0nj8) thank you both for mentioning me and keeping my posts in mind :)

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:
