[Bug 2017357] Re: Wrong DTB for StarFive VisionFive 2 v1.2a board

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

22.04 has no support for the VisionFive 2.

Flash-kernel file db/all.db in 24.04 has these entries

Machine: StarFive VisionFive 2 Lite 
Kernel-Flavors: any
DTB-Id: starfive/jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-lite.dtb
Boot-Script-Path: /boot/boot.scr
U-Boot-Script-Name: bootscr.uboot-generic
Required-Packages: u-boot-tools

Machine: StarFive VisionFive 2 v1.2A
Kernel-Flavors: any
DTB-Id: starfive/jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-v1.2a.dtb
Boot-Script-Path: /boot/boot.scr
U-Boot-Script-Name: bootscr.uboot-generic
Required-Packages: u-boot-tools

Machine: StarFive VisionFive 2 v1.3B
Kernel-Flavors: any
DTB-Id: starfive/jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-v1.3b.dtb
Boot-Script-Path: /boot/boot.scr
U-Boot-Script-Name: bootscr.uboot-generic
Required-Packages: u-boot-tools

So there seems to be nothing wrong in flash-kernel itself.

ubuntu-24.04.4-preinstalled-server-riscv64+jh7110.img does not have
/etc/flash-kernel/machine.

Instead u-boot-starfive 2025.10-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 detects the board based
on the EEPROM content which leads to picking up the jh7110-starfive-
visionfive-2-v1.2a.dtb device-tree.

Title:
  Wrong DTB for StarFive VisionFive 2 v1.2a board

Status in flash-kernel package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  With the official image of 23.04 for the StarFive VisionFive 2 RISCV
  board there is no Ethernet (and possibly other issues) when installing
  on the hardware revision v1.2a.  This is due to the DTB for this
  revision not being in the /boot directory and the Grub configuration
  only referencing the newer v1.3b revision.  As a result, the board
  boots seemingly normally, but there is no Ethernet access available.
  If you modify the Grub configuration to point to the file
  "/lib/firmware/6.2.0-19-generic/device-tree/starfive/jh7110-starfive-
  visionfive-2-v1.2a.dtb" the issue is resolved after a reboot.
