openEuler RISC-V 24.09 HiFive Unmatched Test Report

Test Environment

Operating System Information

Note

This is not an official release image, but one of the CI/dev version images by openEuler RISC-V SIG we found directly on their server, which is NOT listed on oERV SIG’s image download website. oERV SIG is working on a newer release, while this is the last known bootable image on a real Unmatched board so far as we’ve tested. More information here.

Hardware Information

  • HiFive Unmatched Rev A
  • A microUSB cable (included with HiFive Unmatched)
  • An ATX power supply
  • A microSD card (Sandisk Extreme Pro 64G UHS-I)

The following are for users expecting a desktop experience:

  • A PCIe video card
  • USB Keyboard & Mouse
  • HDMI Display / Capture Card & Cable
  • M.2 NVMe SSD (Optional, follow the installation document)

Installation Steps

Boot Device Selection

Ensure the dip switch is set to boot from the microSD card. If not changed, the factory default is to boot from the microSD card.

The dip switch should be set as follows: MSEL[3:0]=1011

Use dd to Flash the Image to the microSD Card

wget https://mirror.iscas.ac.cn/openeuler-sig-riscv/openEuler-RISC-V/testing/20241105/v0.1/Unmatched/openEuler-24.09-V1-xfce-unmatched-testing.img.zst
zstd -T0 -dkv openEuler-24.09-V1-xfce-unmatched-testing.img.zst
sudo dd if=openEuler-24.09-V1-xfce-unmatched-testing.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M status=progress; sync

Notes

See the installation document for instructions on booting with SSD. If U-Boot is flashed into the onboard SPI Flash, microSD-free boot setups could be achieved by editing the drive configurations in extlinux.conf.

Remember to toggle the DIP switch (boot mode) accordingly.

Refer to the U-Boot official documentation for flashing instructions: https://docs.u-boot.org/en/latest/board/sifive/unmatched.html

Logging into the System

Log into the system via the onboard serial port (using the microUSB cable connected to another computer).

Default username: openeuler or root Default password: openEuler12#$

Expected Results

The system should boot normally and allow login through the onboard serial port.

Actual Results

The system booted successfully and login through the onboard serial port was successful.
