[0x4A6F]: It'd be really stretching my budget for these kinds of things. I want to see whether I can find some funding somewhere given an academic excuse, but I'm almost inclined to spend my own $$$ on it at this point.

Me neither but I would prefer it over the HiFive Pro...

not in SPI mode (with the firmware flashed using nix run github:misuzu/nixos-vf2#flash-visionfive2-vendor /dev/ttyUSB0)

You probably have changed some settings is u-boot. To reset u-boot settings to default values you can use these commands:

env default -a
saveenv

I didn’t modify your uboot settings. I flashed the image and flashed the firmware using aforementioned method.   

misuzu is nixos-cross-image-efi supposed to require RISC-V emulation to build?

Nevermind, this is the consequence of my own changes.

Now to figure out why.

I noticed that the image (https://github.com/misuzu/nixos-vf2) didn't boot with all combinations of DIP switches so me being extra smart, I dd-ed uboot SPL and SBI firmware on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 respectively and mvoed /boot to /dev/sda3 and / to /dev/sda4. Now, your derivation doesn't work because it expects "/dev/sda1" to be EFI?

https://github.com/misuzu/nixos-vf2/tree/master#u-boot-on-an-sd-card follow this if you want u-boot on an sdcard

In reply to @alex:tunstall.xyz
Oh neat, that means I can cancel building my dodgy attempt at tweaking your make-efi-image script.

In reply to @misuzu:matrix.org
The image uses labels to mount partitions, so partition numbers shouldn't matter

In reply to @alex:tunstall.xyz
Doesn't that mean I could shrink my root partition a bit and put u-boot at the end of the disk?

Not enough funds, maybe NixOS foundation could chim in. Maybe raitobezarius has some better understanding of this platform.
