A small howto compile mainline u-boot and kernel with patches for the
StarFive VisionFive 2 Lite. Kernel 6.18 and U-Boot 2026.01-rc3. Here it is on my website: opvolger.github.io/starfiveVisi...

Was playing around and now have it running. Fedora Linux on a Raspberry Pi 5 with an AMDGPU. It can start Steam and play Half Life 2. youtu.be/kMISeW9UkwU

@jeffgeerling.com I used the kernel patch from your video/blog :)

Will make a howto create the SD-card for your self... But now bedtime!

EU should not try to live with these foreign broligarch-monopolies (incl MS, Google, Apple, Nvidia etc,) but make our own tech companies.
We need a full #EuroStack as China has. We can work with Taiwan & TSMC.
EU need to start funding this esp hardware like #RISCV

Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos are worth a combined $1.343 trillion.

We are truly living under an oligarchy dominated by billionaire power.

@mholiv.bsky.social has compiled her game Exofactory for #RISC-V and it is working. But My Starfive VisionFive 2 was working on 100% CPU load :)
No sound (yet)? Didn't hear anything, but have a look for your self. One more native RISC-V game in the world now!

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.

I just backed VisionFive 2 Lite:Unlock RISC-V SBC at $19.9 on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/sta... the full version was a lot of fun, I hope the lite will be the same!

Debian Trixie RC1 on RISCV with AMDGPU

A short video where I demo Debian Trixie on RISCV StarFive VisionFive 2 with an AMD GPU.
The AMD Radeon R9 290x is much more stable than the Radeon RX 6600!
How I did the Debian Trixie setup, can be found here: github.com/Opvolger/Opv...

Ook lekker aan het hobbyen geweest... Eens geen pc, maar het lasapparaat. Uitlaat voor mijn auto bestaat niet (2 liter uitlaat onder hatchback model) maar die van de sedan kan je 16 cm inkorten. Helaas kon het alleen in de demper... Zal zo wel goed klinken.

Created a GPU stand for my StarFive VisionFive 2. So the GPU is standing more steady. For more information see my video: youtu.be/Jp0ZPA4IQGw

Today I finished my ansible playbook which can create SD cards for my StarFive VisionFive 2 with external AMDGPU.

Fedora, Ubuntu and OpenSUSE already work. I may add more.

It can be found here: github.com/Opvolger/ans...

@jeffgeerling.com ansible+RISCV+AMDGPU, Maybe time for a follow-up video.

I have written a howto on how to get OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with a dedicated AMDGPU working on a MilkV Jupiter #RISCV #RISC-V #OpenSUSE
