I came back here today to observe effectively exactly this. A brief easy search, when fresh, turned up two sites: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/StarFive_VisionFive_2/Hardware https://gist.github.com/dominiksalvet/2a982235957012c51453139668e21fce That together both explained what IMAFDC actually means, and made it quite clear that that particular board, at least, with the exception of two cores which clearly have specific purposes, exactly matches the recommendation. Which turns Mr. Collyer's report into, presumably, exactly what it is: detailed professional feedback on a work-in progress that effectively finds at least that board acceptable, despite "irritations". ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tbf390d3a51f65cdf-Mebcb150695eaa0892b4f8306 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
