Please check the wiki page for more details:
https://rvspace.org/en/project/VisionFive2_Debian_Wiki_202409_Release

Tips :

  1. Although 4K@30fps is supported and we have improved the desktop performance, there is still frame drop issue during video playback. Thus, it is recommended to switch to 1080p60 resolution for a smooth video playback experience.
  2. Advised to update the u-boot binary if booting from QSPI to support multi-kernel switching at bootmenu.
  3. This debian image contains FFmpeg, Firefox and VLC by default.
  4. Please update the SPI flash to the latest SPL/U-Boot binaries if you would like to try nvme booting (set boot mode as QSPI boot).
