FreeBSD on VisionFive2 board with RISC-V RV64GC StarFive JH7110 SoC

Hello world :)

I just got my VisionFive2 board (powerful rPI like with RISC-V CPU)! :)

Here are the details: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/VisionFive2

Onboard RV64GC ISA Quad-core 64-bit JH7110 SoC, operating frequency up to 1.5GHz, VisionFive 2 supports OpenCL 3.0, OpenGL ES 3.2, and Vulkan 1.2. It is available in 4GB/8GB LPDDR4 RAM options and an optional wireless module. Also, it has multiple onboard interfaces, including M.2 / CSI / DSI / HDMI / eMMC / USB 3.0 / 40PIN GPIO / RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port / TF card slot, etc. Supports 4K@60fps and H264/H265 multi-stream video decoding, 1080p@30fps and H265 multi-stream video encoding. Onboard 40PIN GPIO header, VisionFive2 is compatible with Raspberry Pi series boards.

I got the variant with 8GB RAM, 2xGbit Ethernet, 4xUSB3.0 + 16GB eMMC module.

I have made some Debian Linux run on it quickly from SD.

Flashed the generic 13.1-RELEASE to the SD card from:


OpenSBI shows up, boots off the SD card, FreeBSD loader shows up, then kernel stops at CPU(0): Unknown Implementer Unknown Processor. Also RAM amount does not seem to be detected correctly (4GB instead 8GB).

Anyone else interested in running FreeBSD on that CPU / Board? :)

This is https://github.com/starfive-tech/VisionFive2/issues/33.
 
There is a thread on RV Space Forum about porting BSD to that board:

forum.rvspace.org

FreeBSD support

I spent some time this week getting FreeBSD to boot on the VisionFive 2. See here for a script to generate an SD card image and instructions to make it work: GitHub - robn/freebsd-vf2: FreeBSD on StarFive VisionFive 2. There’s no drivers for anything, so the serial console is your only option...

Has anyone tried this?
Maybe this will make it easier to run FreeBSD on VF2?

recently I managed to run freebsd on VF2, and problem occurs in new opensbi firmware.
I managed to solve it, and fork a new project in https://github.com/KyL0N/freebsd-vf2

This sounds promising, I just ordered the board and will be happy to run FBSD with the provided patches. What is your current resume of this board? Do you still use it, any disadvantages (especially compared to a Raspberry)?

Maybe someone can share a usable image including the drivers as a blue print image which we can use as a base on the SD.
 
Alright, I created an image, unfortunately fbsd is not the way to go here right now. I made some collections on my site if someone is interested and some benchmark tests. The performance is on a Pi3 level, sometimes a little bit better but don’t expect too much. However, it’s still enough for me that I took the opportunity to let it serve my primary Webserver (only static content) and replaced two of my auth NS, as well as two ntp. Low power things are pretty cool for this board. I have 5 boards (4 in production in Debian) and one at home for playing around… hope we can improve the support of fbsd on this board quickly - LicheePi and VF2 are probably the most affordable and common boards for nerds like us :)
