Probably I need the new u-boot as well from cwt’s repos.
Could you burn this image to an SD and give it a try?

I tried the new u-boot, had to also clear the env vars, then reset and boot from mmc
env default -a
saveenv
reset
Then it booted but nvme was still broken
[user@ArchVF2 ~]$ sudo dmesg | grep nvme

@stronnag @sajattack I think I know the problem, there is a driver called phy_jh7110_pcie that was built as a module, from its name I guess it is required to access PCIe devices, e.g. NVMe.
[user@ArchVF2 ~]$ lsmod |grep pcie
phy_jh7110_pcie 12288 2
I will rebuild the kernel and also the cwt22 image.

That’s the one. Added it to initramfs and now running off nvme device.

Thank you

I was very excited to hear that you released cwt22, but I did not see the kernel-update.sh script included for upgrading the kernel. So, does this mean that I can only burn a new image, or can I directly use the previous upgrade script after modifying the version parameters?
You just install the packages. That will update the kernel.
I’m very sorry to bother you. I saw the kernel-update.sh in the linux-cwt-starfive-vf2 repository. Thank you again for bringing this image. 
Before the upgrade, there was a warning: /boot/initramfs.img may not be complete. As expected, it encountered an error during the boot process.

### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###
Nothing to do with the initramfs. The default dtbs has changed.
In the u-boot session:
setenv fdtfile starfive/jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-v1.3b.dtb
then
boot
The board should boot. If it does, you may need, on next reboot, to set the fdtfile again and save the settings.
saveenv
And if you have an older v1.2 board
setenv fdtfile starfive/jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-v1.2a.dtb
Or perhaps you can add the ftdfile setting to /boot/uEnv.txt.

“There is no set command here, so I think you meant setenv? However, the boot process still uses the original dtb file.” Here is what I did.

Wouldn’t be needed if you upgraded the firmware. The u-boot in that contains the changed paths as it was stated in the original debian release notes from starfive!

I just update my post for the cwt22.1 release of Arch Linux Image for VisionFive 2.
As the kernel upgraded to version 6.6, the new u-boot firmware is required. However, the u-boot from StarFive’s repo cannot be built using the latest Arch gcc and binutils, so I changed to the mainline u-boot v2024.04 instead.
The u-boot package is already included in the image, please follow the following instruction to flash onboard firmware:
$ sudo pacman -U /root/pkgs/u-boot-starfive-vf2-2024.04-1-riscv64.pkg.tar.zst
$ cat /proc/mtd # please always check your mtd partition
$ sudo flashcp -v /usr/share/u-boot-starfive-vf2/u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out /dev/mtd0
$ sudo flashcp -v /usr/share/u-boot-starfive-vf2/u-boot.itb /dev/mtd2

reboot your board to use the new kernel
manual removing linux-cwt-515-starfive-vf2-soft_3rdpart package helped… but after upgrade everything were broken.
And now have that…

I found that the package uboot.itb results in the above issue, whereas there is no problem with the official firmware. “Interesting” disparity in file size between the two.
