The OrangePi RV2 is a credit-card sized development board with a Ky X1 8-Core SoC. The Ky X1 is for all intents and purposes a SpacemiT K1 SoC. The remainder of this guide is more likely to use the terms SpacemiT or K1 as is prevalent throughout the Linux community. Please understand that these terms all refer to the same RISC-V ISA implementation.
Known issues
- WiFi is not functional
- Manufacturer tools are not included
- Custom built and manually installed kernel required
Setting up a workspace
Begin by setting up a RISC-V workspace by following Running Alpine riscv64 in QEMU. You'll need to establish a build environment in this QEMU guest.
doas apk add alpine-sdk bison flex openssl-dev ncurses ncurses-dev
ncurses and ncurses-dev aren't a hard requirements but are useful if you want to run make menuconfigCloning the source, configuring and building the kernel
Unfortunately the stock kernels provided by the Alpine Linux project and even the source tarballs from kernel.org will not work. There's still a bit of patchwork involved as not all support is upstreamed.
