Orange Pi RV - irradium (based on crux linux) riscv64, aarch64

I need a help installing this OS.
I tried following the instructions that you gave in the README.txt but no matter what I do, I always get stuck on the splash screen (VisionFive 2) and the OPi RV never boots.
I´ve already tried installing the core and the xfce versions, but nothing changed. I´ve tried using etcher, rufus, W32DI. Same thing.
Only the official OPi Image works.
Apparently it has something to do with the “boot” partition that the Official Image creates, but this is just a wild guess.

look here we went through for VisionFive 2, with OrangePi RV there may be a problem in the bootloader

can i have the opensbi boot, u-boot log.
interested in product id.

How can I get those infos? Should I use the serial jumpers?

mara · July 21, 2025, 4:25pm

you can see it in the debug console manual

So… The possibility of me being a dummy rn is really high, but i searched in the manual and only found means to get the log via serial console, and as I do not have my UART programmer working, I don´t think that I can get those infos. (I do have a PL2303 here, but I´m afraid it will not work for this purpose). Btw, does that bootloader that someone mentioned in the post that you linked to works with the OPi RV? Or only with the VF2 Board?

it works with everyone except orange pi rv, I added the missing one, but there is a check by product id from the eeprom, so I need the correct product id to make corrections.

Gotcha, so can you tell me which programmer works with OPi RV? Like I said, i have a PL2303(if i remember correctly) but i tried using it, but nothing was coming at the serial monitor.

PL2303 works

        Orange Pi RV      <--->       USB to TTL cable
        RX(pin 10)        <--->       TXD
        TX(pin 8)         <--->       RXD
        GND(pin 6)        <--->       GND

sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200,cs8

Yep, i tried every single UART port on that board, but on my linux laptop, nothing comes on the terminal and on my pc with mobaxterm, only this ▒ comes up
I’m guessing that since PL2303 lacks RTS and CTS, it does not work with OPi

xMiokay · July 23, 2025, 11:18pm

Got it, Imma send you the log
here
I got a CH341A that can read the serial
Note: I had the OPi Official OS on the sd

mara · July 24, 2025, 2:57pm

and what’s happening on my image?

xMiokay · July 24, 2025, 3:16pm

I’ll try it today, since I could only use the ch341a for a short time, but only by the tests that I ran earlier, the opi doesn’t boot at all, if I remember correctly it keeps trying to find a boot device(or partition) since your image doesn’t have the opi-boot partition that the official one has
