Yes, at first its size made me think I had done something wrong.
I believe yes… but for now im not so sure. As for now a cant get, where do i get thoose ones.
Ive managed to make it work again. At first thing, there is small interesting thing. I loaded from NVMe using previous kernel from microSD card. And reapplied u-boot rom. Now it loads kernel 6.6 normally

Hi! Is there a way to install RTC DS3231?
If the DS3231 is an I2C module, you can clone and modify the following repository to adapt for the DS3231: GitHub - cwt-vf2/rtc-ds1307-i2c-vf2: VisionFive2 Clock on I2C RTC-DS1307.

Yep. It is.
The post is updated for cwt23 image.
If you already run the image version >= cwt19, you can download this kernel update script, chmod and execute it.
You should upgrade the onboard firmware as well. Just download this package and then follow the firmware upgrade instructions.

I haven’t used my VF2 for several months but one user (lzzhzh) in this thread is claiming they have hardware video decoding working. Really? Can it decode 4K videos too?
Is this using vulkan video decoding? I’m no expert in mpv or vulkan but I’ve looked at the options you’re using for mpv and I don’t think you have hardware video decoding working. If you did the video should be playing back smoother than what you showed in your video. I’m pretty sure you have to be using the --hwdec option to use hardware decoding, if your hardware and drivers support it but I think we’re still missing suitable drivers?
I really want to be proved wrong.
hi, danboid ，Thank you 
My English is not good, here is the machine translation。
NO, VF2 cannot decode 4K videos，can only 1080p。
You saw my message, it was a few months ago。
I haven’t used archLinux-cwt for several months。
The software of archLinux is very new，good 
。But the best decoding is debian2409。
I suggest using archLinux-cwt and debian2409 together。Work using archLinux-cwt, Video entertainment with debian2409。
Or you can try archlinux-cwt + debian2409 , Multi Boot。
I hope my answer ，can help you clarify your doubts。 
hi, cwt。I guess you can see it，Thank you！Previously helped me。

Thanks lzzhzh
The latest official Debian distro release notes does say it doesn’t handle a 4K display well yet so I wasn’t expecting it could handle 4K decoding yet.

Can’t update the kernel via script, it reports conflict with linux-cwt-515-starfive-vf2-soft_3rdpart which it does not attempt to remove or replace.
Hi, I’m out of town and have some difficulties to online. BTW, if you are still using kernel 5.15, you will need remove soft_3rdpart before upgrade the kernel using my script. And BEFORE you reboot, you must upgrade the onboard firmware. You can scroll up or search for the instructions somewhere in this post.

Hi @cwt . Thanks a lot for your work. I’m developing a new application and I need Bluetooth access I tried the following steps but I can’t get it to work:
pacman -S bluez bluez-utils
modprobe btusb
systemctl enable --now bluetooth.service
bluetootctl list
But it gives me and empty answer, like if it doesn’t detect any Bluetooth interface. According to your notes, the last image should have both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support. Is there something I am missing?
Hi @aarroyoc , what kind of bluetooth dongle do you use? Could you lsusb and paste the output related to your dongle? e.g.
$ lsusb |grep -ie bluetooth
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
Sorry, now I realized my mistake. I was under the impression that the board contained BT on its own like many other SBC I use but that wasn’t true. Sorry for the noise.
