OpenRISC Linux
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
This is a port of Linux to the OpenRISC class of microprocessors; the initial
|
|
target architecture, specifically, is the 32-bit OpenRISC 1000 family (or1k).
|
|
|
|
For information about OpenRISC processors and ongoing development:

Build instructions for OpenRISC toolchain and Linux
|
|
===================================================
|
|
|
|
In order to build and run Linux for OpenRISC, you'll need at least a basic
|
|
toolchain and, perhaps, the architectural simulator. Steps to get these bits
|
|
in place are outlined here.
|
|
|
|
1) Toolchain
|
|
|
|
Toolchain binaries can be obtained from openrisc.io or our github releases page.
|
|
Instructions for building the different toolchains can be found on openrisc.io
|
|
or Stafford's toolchain build and release scripts.
|
|
|
|

|
|
toolchains https://openrisc.io/software
|
|
building https://github.com/stffrdhrn/or1k-toolchain-build
|
|
|
|
2) Building
|
|
|
|
Build the Linux kernel as usual
|
|
|
|
make ARCH=openrisc defconfig
|
|
make ARCH=openrisc
|
|
|
|
3) Running on FPGA (optional)
|
|
|
|
The OpenRISC community typically uses FuseSoC to manage building and programming
|
|
an SoC into an FPGA. The below is an example of programming a De0 Nano
|
|
development board with the OpenRISC SoC. During the build FPGA RTL is code
|
|
downloaded from the FuseSoC IP cores repository and built using the FPGA vendor
|
|
tools. Binaries are loaded onto the board with openocd.
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/olofk/fusesoc
|
|
cd fusesoc
|
|
sudo pip install -e .
|
|
|
|
fusesoc init
|
|
fusesoc build de0_nano
|
|
fusesoc pgm de0_nano
|
|
|
|
openocd -f interface/altera-usb-blaster.cfg \
|
|
-f board/or1k_generic.cfg
|
|
|
|
telnet localhost 4444
|
|
> init
|
|
> halt; load_image vmlinux ; reset
|
|
|
|
4) Running on a Simulator (optional)
|
|
|
|
QEMU is a processor emulator which we recommend for simulating the OpenRISC
|
|
platform. Please follow the OpenRISC instructions on the QEMU website to get
|
|
Linux running on QEMU. You can build QEMU yourself, but your Linux distribution
|
|
likely provides binary packages to support OpenRISC.
|
|
|
|

Terminology
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
In the code, the following particles are used on symbols to limit the scope
|
|
to more or less specific processor implementations:
|
|
|
|
openrisc: the OpenRISC class of processors
|
|
or1k: the OpenRISC 1000 family of processors
|
|
or1200: the OpenRISC 1200 processor
|
|
