My #riscv Nezha is back online after I've screwed up its microSD and had to reflash it.
The Debian build prepared by Nezha devs uses AllWinner native format, which requires crappy Windows app called PhoenixCard to flash. This should change when someone ports it to u-boot.
And Nezha has the most impressive cpuinfo I've seen so far - simplicity is the power, no bugs, no workarounds as in IA63 😂
root@nezha:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
hart : 0
isa : rv64imafdcvu
mmu : sv39
Overall experience is that it's a pretty normal SBC just as Sopine64 or RaspberryPi, although with low-profile spec (1 GB RAM) and single core CPU, which is fine as it's a prototype board.
System slowness I've noticed initially came out to be caused by a crappy microSD sent pre-flashed by the Nezha devs. After replacing with a decent A2 microSD it started to work perfectly.
