Linux works somewhat, with some duct taped drivers.

Freebsd boots, but that's it.

Of course, as this board is the first large production run, decent spec'd and reasonably compliant <$100 RISC-V SBC, this is expected to improve quickly as they reach developers and quickstart the ecosystem. That's the true intent of this board.

This is an order of magnitude more boards than accumulated RISC-V development boards distributed to date.

Interesting. I see that NetBSD can now boot on riscv also:

Good to hear. There are other interesting systems, such as xv6 (which abandoned x86 for RISC-V) or Haiku (which RISC-V support has working desktop from about a year ago, unlike aarch64 which doesn't yet).

My answer was, however, specific to systems that run on VisionFive 2.

The situation should improve dramatically once proper documentation is available.
