You are welcome to try anyway. :sunglasses:

Would you consider packaging the kernel you build into a linux-vf2 PKGBUILD, ideally built by https://riscv.mirror.pkgbuild.com (so that it ends up managed by pacman as well)?

No, I considered my custom kernel as an extremely experimental. Very unstable actually. I would left this kind of stuffs in a professional hand.

Update: I had said that cwt6 would be released last week, but my health was not good and I am still recovering. During the past week, I tested many configurations for the new kernel from VF2_v2.8.0 and found some flaws in cwt5 that prevent it from booting the Debian Image 69 . I think this is because the initrd was created using mkinitcpio on Arch Linux. I will attempt to fix this with the new image.

For information on porting packages to RISC-V 64-bit architecture, you may want to join this room on Matrix. Felixonmars is the maintainer of https://archriscv.felixc.at/ and the RISC-V 64-bit port.

Nerwork seems not working on my side… network manager complains about things like: dhcp4 timeout. Cwt5 works fine for me though.

hmm… I will check it tomorrow. thanks for report.

@LeoHa I just make a quick check, there shouldn’t be any NetworkManager related config that was added or removed from cwt5. Could you try again?

Is there a kernel-only tarball for cwt6?

Will upload them tomorrow.

Consider a tarball version, for those of us who’d use different storage (like different filesystem on luks2 on NVMe).

NM logs here: https://fars.ee/9e1C
dmesg here: https://fars.ee/yBVq
There will be an ipv6 address after a while, but no ipv4 whatsoever.
If you need other information, please let me know.
(Seems to be a driver issue?)
(Also, if I try to mount some drives, it will spit out errors relating to fstab.)

Oh! you’re using port on the left? I never test it because according to spec of revision “A”, it’s just 100 Mbit/s. Could you try using port on the right?

The same. Tried reflashing sd card, rebooting router, different ports, still nothing :frowning:

ok, after I finish building my testing kernel, I will test both ports on my board on difference network switches and port speed.
