Thanks for updating Irradium.
I tried it on my VF2, but for some reason it doesn’t boot from my micro SD card (other images do boot). I have one of the early VF2, V1.2A (not the first batch, but the second batch with only one 1GB Ethernet port and one 100M Ethernet port) and I did update the firmware.

maybe this is one of the problems
Firstly, prepare a 16GB or larger TF card with a transfer speed of class10 or above.

it is also necessary to replace the line in the /boot/uEnv.txt file
fdtfile=starfive/jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-v1.3b.dtb
on
fdtfile=starfive/jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-v1.2a.dtb

I’m testing Irradium on my Banana Pi BPI-F3, but I think my notes might help others too.

Once I set the password for root and logged in, I followed this guide.
CRUX Installation Guide (incomplete)
I started at the section “Create user(s)”.

I set the ethernet ports to DHCP, by setting USE_DHCP[0] and USE_DHCP[1] to yes in /etc/rc.d/net.

Just in case you need to set the date, I did it like this: date -s "8 JUL 2025 13:00:00"

Following the guide, I see it creates a new user for building packages.

I tried to remove the directory /usr/ports, but it’s not empty and the sub-directories are different from the ones that get created in the guide.
I never used Irradium or Crux before, so now I’m wondering if it is a good idea to keep following that guide.
If not, is there a better guide?

The guide isn’t too outdated, check out the official one from crux
The only difference is in the network settings, here is an addition.

Regarding ports, everything is the same, just expanded with irradium ports.
