Good morning!
Mainline Haiku is now getting into the kernel on the SiFive Unmatched board!
Our current boot process involves running the following from u-boot to boot Haiku from a USB drive:
pci enum ; usb start ; run bootcmd_usb0
I feel like "pci enum; usb start;" should be default things to do on the unmatched board if they're not already? If you don't run the commands above, u-boot finds our EFI bootloader, but the the USB drives don't show up in our EFI bootloader.
Given the mmc card on the Unmatched is kind of slow, a model of having u-boot on the mmc card, and booting from usb drives / nvme feels like a good one.
Thanks!
