booting milkv-duo

[NotAShelf]

I've recently acquired a Milk-V Duo (64M), which I am interested on putting NixOS on. According to #10, the board is supported but the flashed sd image does not seem to be recognized by the board, nor by dmesg and thus I cannot ssh into it.

What could it be that I'm missing?

The image is pretty bare bone, it does not have sshd or even network (via rndis) configured. Please try accessing the serial console via the uart pins, see https://milkv.io/duo for the pinout.

That'll probably be more hardware orders, that take months to get through customs atm.

I'll take a look at hacking sssd and networking without OOMing the board.

Just buy the cheapest "uart to usb" board you can find on amazon.

I've recently ordered a board, it arrived earlier but I'm missing jumper cables to be able to actually connect it to the board. Will report my results when my cables also arrive.
