There are (too) many different models & making hardware was never this cheap ... The closest to this were @chainsx maintenance of LicheePi 4A but it turned out bad. Framework has all needed mechanisms which is what we maintain. That help that this job is easier for anyone that wants to do it.
October 22, 20241 yr Not be to a downer - but RISC-V, while interesting, is out of scope, much like X86/AMD64 RISC-V in particular - the ISA is under active development, and we have a wide array of chipset/SoC vendors that perhaps need improvement on their docs... SImilar - I do a lot of work on older MIPS K24c chipset - but I don't bring specific back to the community here, as it's not relevant...
December 4, 20241 yr I have Mango MQ Pro, Nezha and VisionFive2 boards and the solution for this RISC-V board was really simple, I installed Ubuntu Server and I'm happy with it, I just had to remove some unnecessary features, like DietPi does with Armbian. It is not mandatory to find excuses. https://ubuntu.com/download/risc-v
December 4, 20241 yr 7 hours ago, Celona said: like DietPi does with Armbian The problem behind their promotion statement is that its a scam. Dietpi is bloated with proprietary scripts and they are removing packages that are dependencies for everything ... so it makes no sense at the end, just first installation of anything takes longer. But they can claim images has few MB less ... which is "better" and most of end users have no ability / interest to understand they have been conned. https://docs.armbian.com/#comparison Damages they create to open source, by playing dirty, that is beyond commenting. 7 hours ago, Celona said: I installed Ubuntu Server and I'm happy with it This should also work OOB then https://www.armbian.com/uefi-riscv64/ and you don't need to remove anything (from minimal Bookworm OS image, which is significantly lighter then Dietpi). If you / anyone can confirm they are working well, we can move this to Supported section.
March 11, 20251 yr Hi, a newbie here. What are the first-time credentials for the images uploaded in the yandex site? I downloaded the https://disk.yandex.ru/d/da8qJ8wyE1hhcQ/Nezha_D1/AltLinux/20231002-efi version from this location
March 12, 20251 yr @orlando mendez Those aren't Armbian official images. You would need to ask whomever produced those images for that information.
March 13, 20251 yr Orlando: The OP says "Further steps for initial setup are similar for all Armbian systems." ... so what is the login for Armbian? But ... how about Ubuntu on your Nezha D1: https://canonical-ubuntu-boards.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/how-to/allwinner-nezha-d1/ Works for me.

July 21, 20251 yr Hi all, Sorry for such a kiddy question but I couldn’t find the answer. I have a bit another device than expected. I have Banana Pi 3 device with Armbian-bpi-SpacemiT 24.5.0-trunk Noble and i'm trying to install a new kernel to it. I've installed linux-allwinner kernel 6.8.0-60.63.1 and all the stuff with it. linux-allwinner/noble-security,noble-updates,now 6.8.0-60.63.1 riscv64 [installed] linux-headers-allwinner/noble-security,noble-updates,now 6.8.0-60.63.1 riscv64 [installed,automatic] linux-image-allwinner/noble-security,noble-updates,now 6.8.0-60.63.1 riscv64 [installed,automatic] linux-tools-allwinner/noble-security,noble-updates,now 6.8.0-60.63.1 riscv64 [installed] And current boot kernel looks like ``` # mkimage -l /boot/Image FIT description: Linux 6.1.15-legacy-k1 Created: Wed May 1 17:17:59 2024 Image 0 (kernel) Description: Linux 6.1.15-legacy-k1 Created: Wed May 1 17:17:59 2024 Type: Kernel Image Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 32397312 Bytes = 31638.00 KiB = 30.90 MiB Architecture: RISC-V OS: Linux Load Address: 0x01400000 Entry Point: 0x01400000 Hash algo: crc32 Hash value: f571b82e Default Configuration: 'conf-default' Configuration 0 (conf-default) Description: Generic Linux kernel Kernel: kernel ``` The question is - How to make from vmlinuz-6.8.0-60-generic a kernel with the same format like above ? When I try to make it like this `mkimage -A riscv -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x01400000 -e 0x01400000 -d /boot/vmlinuz-6.8.0-60-generic /tmp/Image` I have another kernel format. ``` Created: Fri Jul 18 15:49:58 2025 Image Type: RISC-V Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) Data Size: 38608384 Bytes = 37703.50 KiB = 36.82 MiB Load Address: 01400000 Entry Point: 01400000 ```
