The scope of this test is to ensure that riscv64+visionfive image boots from SD card on StarFive VisionFive board
- Flash downloaded image onto SD card
- You can use Gnome Disks app to restore img.xz onto the SD card
- Alternatively you can use xz -d to decompress, and then dd to copy the image to the SD card
- Connect networking, serial console to the board
- Ethernet cable for networking
- FTDI adapter for serial console (pinout available here: https://rvspace.org/en/Product/VisionFive/Technical_Documents/VisionFive...)
- Connect to the serial console
- sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB1 115200
- Power on the board
- You should see U-BOOT menu
- It should then boot GRUB after a delay
- You should see GRUB menu
- It should then boot the default kernel after a delay
- After a while cloud-init will run
- Then one will be able to login
- Login and change password
- Login using ubuntu for both username and password
- Reenter ubuntu password again
- Set new password
- Confirm the new password
- Perform WiFi testing
- Make sure the WiFi device is enabled:
- $ sudo apt install network-manager
- $ nmcli radio wifi
- enabled
- List AP:
- $ nmcli dev wifi list
- Perform generic testing
- Check that apt update works
- Run any command that is not installed, check that command-not-found recommends things to install
- e.g. hello
- Install a package and check that it works, e.g. hello
- Perform snap testing
- Install a snap and check that it works, e.g. hello
- Perform HDMI testing
- Plug an HDMI cable and make sure a prompt asking for login appears on the screen
- Perform USB test
- Plug a keyboard in and enter the login/password
- Perform Bluetooth testing
- Add the RISC-V PPA:
- $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-risc-v-team/release
- $ sudo apt update
- Install the required packages:
- $ sudo apt install linux-firmware-starfive brcm-patchram-plus-starfive
- The installation may fail because the Bluetooth is flaky but the service installed by the brcm-patchram-plus-starfive package takes care of retrying
- Check the brcm-patchram-plus-starfive.service status:
- $ sudo systemctl status brcm-patchram-plus-starfive.service
- Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/brcm-patchram-plus-starfive.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Wed 2022-06-22 13:42:33 UTC; 32min ago
- ...
- Additionally, you can check that the Bluetooth controller appears:
- $ bluetoothctl
- Agent registered
- [CHG] Controller 70:4A:0E:95:C7:1B Pairable: yes
- Note that the bluetooth requires GPIO toggling so if that works, we consider GPIO to work too.
- Reboot
- The board should reboot normally
- Poweroff
- Console messages should reach poweroff target
- There should be final kernel dmsg powering off
- Manually turn power-off from the board
