[RFC 0/4] riscv: add initial LiteX SoC support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This RFC patchseries adds initial LiteX RISC-V SoC support for barebox.

You can obtain this patchseries from github:

    $ git clone -b 20190602.litex https://github.com/frantony/barebox

LiteX is a Migen-based System on Chip [1], supporting softcore VexRiscv CPU,
 a 32-bits Linux Capable RISC-V CPU [2].

All the components used to create the LiteX SoC are open-source and
the flexibility of Spinal HDL/Migen allow targeting easily very various
FPGA devices/boards: Lattice, Altera, Xilinx, Microsemi FPGAs
with SDRAM/DDR/DDR2/DDR3/DDR4 RAMs, RMII/MII/RGMII/1000BASE-X Ethernet PHYs.

The LiteX SoC with VexRiscv CPU can be deployed on e.g. Digilent ARTY board [3]
or Terasic DE0-Nano board [4].

You can boot barebox from serial port using flterm [5]:, e.g.:

flterm --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --kernel <path_to_barebox.bin> --kernel-adr 0x40000000


TODO
====

  * add pbl support for riscv barebox;
  * add liteeth Ethernet core support [6] (tip: use ARTY board);
  * fix issues (see the WIP commit);
  * use barebox to start linux [2] and zephyr [7].
