I added an alpha version (risc-v branch) of getting images for StarFive to the ArmbianTV build system.
The initial configuration of the running system is performed according to the general documentation for Armbian.
The native build on the device itself does not work yet, you need to use an x86 PC host with Ubuntu.
Please note, this is still the first version of the build system for RISC-V in ArmbianTV and many functions have not yet been tested in it. To use the build system, you need to clone the git, switch to the risc-v branch and run the build command and follow its prompts. For details, see the documentation for the Armbian build system, it is common to all systems.
The system allows you to build a complete image ready for use, including the kernel and all settings.
So far, the Ubuntu image server assembly has been tested and is working. The resulting image can be easily used to launch, download an archive, unpack and burn to an SD card.
Connect to StarFive and the system starts automatically.
Great Work you made the work I had dont to my own builder not needed. but we have a few things we need userland toold for Bluetooth and Audio will only. work over the jack right now as there is no audio ver the lcd chip
I need to know if Bables150 had used his armbian builder and done a sid img . I have the ubunt ate its nice but it needs updating as some parts are missing.
I would like to see him release a debian sid img or point me to all his changes so we can make shure the builder uses the right ver of sid from the debain-ports
Added primary support for building Debian images (sid). I also uploaded a test image (20220618) of Armbian Debian Sid for Starfive to the site.
There is a bug, the automatic locale setting does not work at the first start, the US locale is enabled by default, to enable others, you need to manually install and configure.
New version 20220702 for StarFive. Kernel 5.19-rc4.
An important change. The system has been switched to using the new version of u-boot (in the future it will be a complete transition to UEFI). For details on how to upgrade to the new version of u-boot, see this topic.
Version 20220710.
Important change, Ubuntu\Armbian switched to using UEFI. Debian\Armbian will be switched to using UEFI in the near future, while several packages necessary for UEFI are missing in Debian network repositories for riscv64, with the release of these packages in Debian network repositories or I will temporarily use DEB EFI packages from Ubuntu, Debian images will also be completely switched to the UEFI startup system (grub). It is welcome if there are participants who are ready to help with porting the necessary DEB EFI packages for Debian. By the way, Rick is actively working on adding new DE for RISC-V in Armbian, several new DE’s will be ready soon, if you are interested in specific DE, write to this topic, it will help determine which direction to do first.
