Running HSS
|
|
||||||
-----------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
HSS 2020.12 release is tested at the time of writing. To build an HSS image
|
|
||||||
that can be booted by the ``microchip-icicle-kit`` machine, type the following
|
|
||||||
in the HSS source tree:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=riscv64-linux-
|
|
||||||
$ cp boards/mpfs-icicle-kit-es/def_config .config
|
|
||||||
$ make BOARD=mpfs-icicle-kit-es
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Download the official SD card image released by Microchip and prepare it for
|
|
||||||
QEMU usage:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ wget ftp://ftpsoc.microsemi.com/outgoing/core-image-minimal-dev-icicle-kit-es-sd-20201009141623.rootfs.wic.gz
|
|
||||||
$ gunzip core-image-minimal-dev-icicle-kit-es-sd-20201009141623.rootfs.wic.gz
|
|
||||||
$ qemu-img resize core-image-minimal-dev-icicle-kit-es-sd-20201009141623.rootfs.wic 4G
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Then we can boot the machine by:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ qemu-system-riscv64 -M microchip-icicle-kit -smp 5 \
|
|
||||||
-bios path/to/hss.bin -sd path/to/sdcard.img \
|
|
||||||
-nic user,model=cadence_gem \
|
|
||||||
-nic tap,ifname=tap,model=cadence_gem,script=no \
|
|
||||||
-display none -serial stdio \
|
|
||||||
-chardev socket,id=serial1,path=serial1.sock,server=on,wait=on \
|
|
||||||
-serial chardev:serial1
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
With above command line, current terminal session will be used for the first
|
|
||||||
serial port. Open another terminal window, and use ``minicom`` to connect the
|
|
||||||
second serial port.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ minicom -D unix\#serial1.sock
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
HSS output is on the first serial port (stdio) and U-Boot outputs on the
|
|
||||||
second serial port. U-Boot will automatically load the Linux kernel from
|
|
||||||
the SD card image.

Running HSS
|
||||||
|
-----------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The machine ``microchip-icicle-kit`` used to run the Hart Software Services
|
||||||
|
(HSS_), however, the HSS development progressed and the QEMU machine
|
||||||
|
implementation lacks behind. Currently, running the HSS no longer works.
|
||||||
|
There is missing support in the clock and memory controller devices. In
|
||||||
|
particular, reading from the SD card does not work.
