Installation Steps

Decompress and Flash the Image to the microSD Card

Assuming /dev/sdc is the storage card.

xzcat openSUSE-Tumbleweed-RISC-V-JeOS-starfivevisionfive2.riscv64-2024.10.14-Build1.20.raw.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdc iflag=fullblock status=progress bs=4M

Boot Mode Selection

StarFive VisionFive 2 provides multiple boot modes, configurable through onboard dip switches before powering on; these are marked on the board itself.

To boot the openSUSE image, select the microSD card boot mode (i.e., RGPIO_0 = 1, RGPIO_1 = 0).

Note: In this mode, there is a small chance of boot failure. If you encounter boot failure, you might see output similar to the following on the serial port:

dwmci_s: Response Timeout.                                                                                            
dwmci_s: Response Timeout.                                                                                            
BOOT fail,Error is 0xffffffff

You can try repowering the board or pressing the button near the USB Type-C power interface. This usually resolves the issue.
