Those would appear to be wifi antennae connectors

Because M.2 WiFi card is used. Wired Ethernet is not supported now on HiFive Unmatched because ported *BSD network drivers do not support FDT bus yet and no dedicated Haiku driver is made. I made dedicated Wired Ethernet driver only for VisionFive 2.

I am doing initial test on MangoPi MQ Pro and it displays Haiku Boot Loader.
When I try to continue booting, it just hang then reboot automatically.
There is no any messages on the serial console even though I enabled all of
the safe mode options and debug options.
Is there any documents that can assist with debug and development?

Very cool! Iā€™d love to get my hands on some RISC-V hardware, or even some old SPARC hardware.

SONews is covering some RISC-V based miniPC ( SpacemiT Key Stone KŠ—)

It looks quite cool, but will probably wait to see reviews, not to mention the rest of the SoCs to come this year, before springing for it.

Hi,

if anyone wants to participate in RISC-V development and is lacking the necessary hardware, I have two unused StarFive VisionFive 2 boards I would love to donate to someone in need.

Just drop me a PM.

With kind regards,
Egon

As much as I would love playing with them I lack the necessary skills

Would the RISC-V image work on the DeepComputing ROMA II? It has a SpacemiT K1 CPU. I have one collecting dust.

What is the sales/support lifespan of these laptopsā€¦ a couple months/years? You canā€™t buy them today. So, do they go out of style/support like Chromebooks?

Successfully booted Haiku on the Milk-V Pioneer; with the help of AI.

  • Needed to upgrade OpenSBL, ZBSL.
  • EDK2 required some fixes specifically for Haiku from the Sophgo Fork.
  • Haiku would lose access to storage devices after boot, required implementation of SD card reader support for this board.
  • EFI conformance fixes; ACPI related changes
  • Also, my RX 580 required a few changes to not have graphics corruption.

- Things I plan to work on at some point:

  • Need to implement USB 3 and HDMI Audio; right now I cannot do anything on the desktop.
  • Work on making NVME boot possible
  • Enabling SMP
