¿Is It possible to update without ttl usb device?.
No,
you can do without ttl usb:
- the u-boot and SPL update as described in VisionFive2_QSG.pdf p.26.
- Flash the img to SD Card.
Login to the Image as root you need usb ttl
Or you can change the sshd_config directly in the image when its mounted on your linux host.
p.26 it is written:
Note:
This method only supports versions equal to or later than VF2_v2.5.0
Can I follow the procedure from image55 (which from it’s name seems to be a 2.3.0 ?)
OR this note apply only to u-boot&SPL v2.5.0 ?
Here’s a magnet link to Image-69 if anyone wants to download without going through the Google Drive.
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ddefc7df6e3f7a708930183fc8c384a57eb8c331&dn=Image-69&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A6969%2Fannounce
For future release, could the .torrent file be put into github, or just on the low bandwidth site directly?

As expected, image55 (v2.3.0) was not able to mount mtd devices then switched to the other solution (flashing through TFTP server).
As expected too, using image69 without updated u-boot & SPL failed booting and forced the boot to u-boot. From here the tftp procedure worked fine for updating u-boot and SPL
→ Reboot : debian booted directly.
Thx
I have a gigabit uplink that I’ll leave running on that, though it’ll take a while to get inertia. It’s estimating 44 hours, so my Gbit uplink in the states should help.
My download via your magnet link should be finished in 30 minutes, and I’ll let the machine running until the next image.
Hello, i build u-boot and opensbi and then installed the the mtd utilities via apt and the update wasnt a problem without tftp.
Are you saying that it is possible to use flashcp, even with the original SPL and U-Boot on the SBC itself?
If yes, is it possible for you to make this image available?
Or did I misunderstand your message?
Google Drive downloaded well over an hour then failed (~3 GB of >5GB).
Tried multiple times with same result.
Is there a ftp/wget site to dowload? Smaller image?
Smaller image is available in google drive inside image69 folder
Serving it now, in the US, from a GBit (fiber) uplink.

Hello LivingLinux,
you could install on the board the apt install mtd-utils and then you can use mtd. Do you see any output from cat /proc/mtd on your board ? Perhaps you need first update your kernel.
Was able to download and unzip the smaller image files, however, the checksums son’t match.

Ah, Ah! Sorry. Did not note that the checksums were against the uncompressed image.
AOK now!
I am looking forward to receiving a Vision5 2 board when it is ready and safe for you to ship.
Thanks for all your good work!

The root partition of the minimal image has only 1.5 GB and only 5 MB of free space.
I had to resize it - in my case to 10 GB - in order to be able to install new packages with apt get.
Suggest to make it a bit bigger.
Thank you!

Actually no, it’s completely standard to ship a tight image. You are supposed to resize it. This keeps the distributed image small and besides, everyone will have a different size they want it resized to.

Hmmm… resize2fs does not seem to do this. How to resize please?

You need to resize the partition first. I just used fdisk /dev/mmcblk1 and deleted 3 and created it again. After that the resize2fs command works. Note, you do not need to reboot at any point.
