I ran into the access fault in the PLIC code when I first attempted to run mainline Linux on the BeagleV Ahead. I switched from the vendor OpenSBI v0.9 to uptream OpenSBI v1.3 and the PLIC oops went away. For reference, my boot log when using OpenSBI v1.3: https://gist.github.com/pdp7/23259595a7570f1f11086d286e16dfb6 And my device tree patch which essentially just adjusts the memory node to match the amount of DDR in the BeagleV Ahead versus the lpi4a that Jisheng has: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20230722-upstream-beaglev-ahead-dts-v2-0-a470ab8fe806@xxxxxxxxxxxx/ -Drew
