IMPORTANT NOTE: You need to running sufficient power or the board will not work. Running a type C cable from a PC is not enough! It needs to be at least 20Watts
I'll be putting my notes and development from this board on here.
You need to dig on the internet just to find out how this board boots.
Downloading an older image just to get it to boot and then you need to update the firmware, like they couldn't do that before they sold it. How lazy!
Downloaded the Ubuntu image from Ubuntu.com for this board is all I needed? NOPE!
After downloaoding the Ubuntu server image, burning to Micro SD card - it booted. The preinstalled image didn't seem to work. I imaged the new image to m.2 drive, left the jumper settings the same and bingo. It boots from sd card makes root(/) the nvme.
Out of all my current boards, I would say this one took the least amount of time. The BPI-F3 took over a month to get going. The Sipeed laptop is now back to default, I managed to get it imaged with a nice version of Debian.
Download the Ubuntu [Image](https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/noble/release/ubuntu-24.04-live-server-riscv64.img.gz) Ubuntu 24.04 to the NVME (NOTE: you will lose all your data)
