Wow, that is great! I just updated my VisionFive2 by doing the not
recommended dist-upgrade to vanilla Debian sid, with the kernel set to
"hold". I don't worry about video drivers, as my VisionFive2 is headless
anyway. The install seems to still work, mostly ;)

I hope I have not overlooked this in an obvious location, but what is
the correct procedure to install your kernel builds, so that uboot
learns about them, and boots them?

Will just installing the three(?) packages from this repository with
dpkg be enough, or will I need some further u-boot wizardry?

Thanks in advance,
