That is awesome. The more distros and software supporting RISC-V the better.
I managed to run GNU Guix from eMMC on VisionFive2 board.
The image is built from "gnu/system/images/visionfive2.scm" manifest and is written to an eMMC with "ddrescue".
Also I had to switch the boot mode into QSPI and run those command on boot:
setenv fdtfile starfive/jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-v1.3b.dtb
saveenv
It runs but the boot process stops with "failed to resolve partition" error.

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.
