DietPi Milk-V Mars Test Report
Test Environment
Operating System Information
- System Version: DietPi v9.12.1
- Download Link: https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/testing/DietPi_VisionFive2-RISC-V-Trixie.img.xz
- Reference Installation Document:
Hardware Information
- Milk-V Mars (8GB RAM)
- A USB power adapter and A USB-A to C or C to C cable
- A microSD card
- A USB to UART debugger (e.g., CH340, CH341, FT2232, etc.)
Installation Steps
Decompress and Flash Image to microSD Card
Use xz to decompress the image, and then use dd command or balenaEtcher software to flash the image to the microSD card. (Assuming /dev/sdc is the microSD card device)
wget https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/testing/DietPi_VisionFive2-RISC-V-Trixie.img.xz
xz -d DietPi_VisionFive2-RISC-V-Trixie.img.xz
sudo dd if=DietPi_VisionFive2-RISC-V-Trixie.img of=/dev/sdc bs=1M status=progress
syncBoot Mode Selection
Milk-V Mars provides multiple boot modes after the hardware version V1.2, which can be configured via onboard dip switches before powering on; the board itself is also silk-screened for reference.
To boot the Armbian image, select the SPI Flash boot mode (GPIO_0 = 0, GPIO_1 = 0). Note that this mode may require you to update the firmware in the Flash beforehand.
Logging into the System
Log into the system via the serial port.
Default Username: root
Default Password: dietpi
After entering the system, it will be connected to the network and start the update. If there is a network problem, the ip address of the network check command can be changed to 8.8.8.8 in the interactive interface.
Expected Results
The system should boot up normally and allow login via the serial port.
Actual Results
The system starts normally and the output is successfully viewed through the serial port.
