Provide source code for jh7110-recovery-20221205.bin #2

Hi, please accept my thanks for producing such a wonderful and feature rich board.

There are few misunderstandings on my side left as for a new user. I'm experienced user of VisionFive 1 board, built, customized, modified and installed successfully it's firmware. I've been several times in need to recover it because my U-Boot was misconfigured, but I managed to get out of the situation using recovery.

There's jh7110-recovery-20221205.bin U-Boot recovery binary in this repo. I searched all your repositories, but nowhere is a sign of source code for it. I suspect it's upgraded https://github.com/starfive-tech/bootloader_recovery, but that repo does not show activity going towards porting it to VisionFive 2 (no branches related to VF2).

Could you please provide source code for it, point where it can be found, or at least tell why it's not published already? Thank you.

@electrorys thanks for your attention, we need clean up our code and will inform you when it's ready.

Meanwhile, I am writing firmware from scratch in Rust :crab: in the oreboot project.

See the visionfive2 branch here in my fork: https://github.com/orangecms/oreboot/tree/visionfive2

Draft PR: https://github.com/oreboot/oreboot/pull/686

Any progress so far? I resorted to make a rescue sdcard instead containing a copy of QSPI arranged on specially marked partitions, and flipping onboard switch.

Thank you for the VF2!

It has been over 6 months since the original question. Maybe it is better to release source code in its current state than to have the community waiting ?

Or to release enough info about what the boot rom expects so that the community can write its own version?

time flies, new releases being done, can we get the source code?

@MichaelZhuxx Can an estimate be given when the source code will be published for the recovery binary?
