Board:emulation/spike-riscv

SPIKE is RISC-V's primary emulator. The Spike support in coreboot is mostly being developed by jn as part of his GSoC 2016.

Build instructions

These instructions may easily become out of date as coreboot or RISC-V moves forward. If that happens, please complain on the discussion page or IRC (or just fix it).

The instructions are also not yet complete.

Building the toolchain

• clone the coreboot git repository
• download and apply the following patches:
  • 14604: xcompile: rename riscv to riscv64
  • 14257: buildgcc: Update to GCC 6.1.0, and binutils riscv update.
• run make crossgcc-riscv and a have a cup of $BEVERAGE

Building spike

• download Spike from https://github.com/riscv/riscv-isa-sim
• download and apply this patch that implements an 8250 UART
• TODO: fesvr: patch device_list_t::handle_command to ignore HTIF writes
• TODO: running make

Building coreboot without a payload

• You need the following patches:
  • 15290: change all eret instructions to mret
  • 15289: Remove HTIF and SBI related code
  • 15288: Provide a tohost symbol so Spike doesn't hang
  • 15284: Move CBMEM into RAM
• run make menuconfig and select Emulation/SPIKE ucb riscv from the Mainboard menu
• run make
• run util/riscvtools/make-spike-elf.sh build/coreboot.rom build/coreboot.elf to create an ELF file (spike can only load ELF files)
• run spike build/coreboot.elf

For general spike usage, look at its GitHub page.

Building Linux

• git clone https://github.com/riscv/riscv-linux
• download linux 4.6.x from kernel.org
• cd linux-4.6.x/arch; ln -s ../../riscv-linux/arch/riscv .
• make ARCH=riscv defconfig
• make ARCH=riscv menuconfig, configure General setup/Cross-compiler tool prefix
• make ARCH=riscv

Building bbl

• TODO: libc stuff
• TODO: payload linker script foo
• TODO: patching the console output handler
• mkdir build
• cd build; ../configure --with-payload=path/to/vmlinux CC=path/to/riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc LD=path/to/riscv64-unknown-elf-ld
• make

Building coreboot with bbl

• apply the same coreboot patches as above
• you need these additional patches:
  • 15510: arch/riscv: Make SBI support optional
  • 15511: spike-riscv: Register RAM resource at 0x80000000
• select Emulation/Spike ucb riscv
• deselect "Run payload in S-mode and provide SBI" in the Payload menu
• in the Payload menu of menuconfig, select "ELF Payload" and enter the path to the bbl binary
• run make and the make-spike-elf.sh script as described above
