QEMU RISC-V
 | 
						|
===========
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
QEMU for RISC-V supports a special 'virt' machine and 'spike' machine designed
 | 
						|
for emulation and virtualization purposes. This document describes how to run
 | 
						|
U-Boot under it. Both 32-bit and 64-bit targets are supported, running in
 | 
						|
either machine or supervisor mode.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The QEMU virt machine models a generic RISC-V virtual machine with support for
 | 
						|
the VirtIO standard networking and block storage devices. It has CLINT, PLIC,
 | 
						|
16550A UART devices in addition to VirtIO and it also uses device-tree to pass
 | 
						|
configuration information to guest software. It implements the latest RISC-V
 | 
						|
privileged architecture.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
See :doc:`../../develop/devicetree/dt_qemu` for information on how to see
 | 
						|
the devicetree actually generated by QEMU.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The QEMU spike machine models a minimalistic RISC-V virtual machine with
 | 
						|
only CLINT and HTIF devices. It also uses device-tree to pass configuration
 | 
						|
information to guest software and implements the latest RISC-V privileged
 | 
						|
architecture.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Building U-Boot
 | 
						|
---------------
 | 
						|
Set the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable as usual, and run:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- For 32-bit RISC-V::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    make qemu-riscv32_defconfig
 | 
						|
    make
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- For 64-bit RISC-V::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    make qemu-riscv64_defconfig
 | 
						|
    make
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This will compile U-Boot for machine mode. To build supervisor mode binaries,
 | 
						|
use the configurations qemu-riscv32_smode_defconfig and
 | 
						|
qemu-riscv64_smode_defconfig instead. Note that U-Boot running in supervisor
 | 
						|
mode requires a supervisor binary interface (SBI), such as RISC-V OpenSBI.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Running U-Boot
 | 
						|
--------------
 | 
						|
The minimal QEMU command line to get U-Boot up and running is:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- For 32-bit RISC-V virt machine::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    qemu-system-riscv32 -nographic -machine virt -bios u-boot.bin
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- For 64-bit RISC-V virt machine::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -machine virt -bios u-boot.bin
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- For 64-bit RISC-V spike machine::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -machine spike -bios u-boot.bin
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The commands above create targets with 128MiB memory by default.
 | 
						|
A freely configurable amount of RAM can be created via the '-m'
 | 
						|
parameter. For example, '-m 2G' creates 2GiB memory for the target,
 | 
						|
and the memory node in the embedded DTB created by QEMU reflects
 | 
						|
the new setting.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For instructions on how to run U-Boot in supervisor mode on QEMU
 | 
						|
with OpenSBI, see the documentation available with OpenSBI:
 | 
						|
https://github.com/riscv/opensbi/blob/master/docs/platform/qemu_virt.md
 | 
						|
https://github.com/riscv/opensbi/blob/master/docs/platform/spike.md
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
These have been tested in QEMU 5.0.0.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Running U-Boot SPL
 | 
						|
------------------
 | 
						|
In the default SPL configuration, U-Boot SPL starts in machine mode. U-Boot
 | 
						|
proper and OpenSBI (FW_DYNAMIC firmware) are bundled as FIT image and made
 | 
						|
available to U-Boot SPL. Both are then loaded by U-Boot SPL and the location
 | 
						|
of U-Boot proper is passed to OpenSBI. After initialization, U-Boot proper is
 | 
						|
started in supervisor mode by OpenSBI.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
OpenSBI must be compiled before compiling U-Boot. Version 0.4 and higher is
 | 
						|
supported by U-Boot. Clone the OpenSBI repository and run the following command.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: console
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    git clone https://github.com/riscv/opensbi.git
 | 
						|
    cd opensbi
 | 
						|
    make PLATFORM=generic
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
See the OpenSBI documentation for full details:
 | 
						|
https://github.com/riscv/opensbi/blob/master/docs/platform/qemu_virt.md
 | 
						|
https://github.com/riscv/opensbi/blob/master/docs/platform/spike.md
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To make the FW_DYNAMIC binary (build/platform/generic/firmware/fw_dynamic.bin)
 | 
						|
available to U-Boot, either copy it into the U-Boot root directory or specify
 | 
						|
its location with the OPENSBI environment variable. Afterwards, compile U-Boot
 | 
						|
with the following commands.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- For 32-bit RISC-V::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    make qemu-riscv32_spl_defconfig
 | 
						|
    make
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- For 64-bit RISC-V::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    make qemu-riscv64_spl_defconfig
 | 
						|
    make
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The minimal QEMU commands to run U-Boot SPL in both 32-bit and 64-bit
 | 
						|
configurations are:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- For 32-bit RISC-V virt machine::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    qemu-system-riscv32 -nographic -machine virt -bios spl/u-boot-spl.bin \
 | 
						|
    -device loader,file=u-boot.itb,addr=0x80200000
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- For 64-bit RISC-V virt machine::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -machine virt -bios spl/u-boot-spl.bin \
 | 
						|
    -device loader,file=u-boot.itb,addr=0x80200000
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- For 64-bit RISC-V spike machine::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -machine spike -bios spl/u-boot-spl.bin \
 | 
						|
    -device loader,file=u-boot.itb,addr=0x80200000
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
An attached disk can be emulated in RISC-V virt machine by adding::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    -device ich9-ahci,id=ahci \
 | 
						|
    -drive if=none,file=riscv64.img,format=raw,id=mydisk \
 | 
						|
    -device ide-hd,drive=mydisk,bus=ahci.0
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You will have to run 'scsi scan' to use it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Debug UART
 | 
						|
----------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The following settings provide a debug UART for the virt machine::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONFIG_DEBUG_UART=y
 | 
						|
    CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_NS16550=y
 | 
						|
    CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_BASE=0x10000000
 | 
						|
    CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_CLOCK=3686400
