firmware flash via UART
Code: installed package: lrzsz
updating the SPI bootloader:
# lsz -X jh7110-recovery-<version>.bin < /dev/ttyUSB0 > /dev/ttyUSB0
0: update 2ndboot/SPL in flash
1: update 2ndboot/SPL in emmc
2: update fw_verif/uboot in flash
3: update fw_verif/uboot in emmc
4: update otp, caution!!!!
5: exit
select: 0
# lsz -X u-boot.bin < /dev/ttyUSB0 > /dev/ttyUSB0
select : 2
# lsz -X u-boot.itb < /dev/ttyUSB0 > /dev/ttyUSB0
select exit: 5

I've got the 8GB Star64.
You need to look at the debug uart output. I haven't tested it on the board itself. You can try changing the dtb in uEnv.txt, from fdtfile=starfive/jh7110-pine64-star64.dtb to fdtfile=starfive/jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-v1.3b.dtb or [b]fdtfile=starfive/jh7110-orangepi-rv.dtb

If you haven't tested it, why are you posting to the forum as if it works?
That could waste people's time with a distro that doessn't work, whereas the Fishwaldo distro does work.

Testing requires equipment or assistance from those who have it. In my case, this means a more recent kernel and has been tested on Orange Pi RV, VisionFive 2, and VisionFive 2 Lite. There are always nuances with booting and flashing the firmware.

In that case someone should create a separate forum section for testing. You can post your new distro and request that people test it and give feedback.
As for the kernel, I recall that Fishwaldo said he was sticking with the older kernel for his distro that he made in 2023/2024 because the GPU driver wasn't in the newer kernels at the time. It would be good to check if it was reintroduced and what other drivers may be missing in the latest kernels.
