The solution?

It runs from a 64GiB MicroSD card, the board boot mode is SDIO.
Next I'm going to try to run GNU Guix from a MicroSD card as well. I've already tried to run Guix on VisionFive2 using an eMMC but this try was only partially successful:

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
