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) The toolchain can be obtained from openrisc.net. Instructions for building
|
|
a toolchain can be found at:
|
|
|
|
http://openrisc.net/toolchain-build.html
|
|
|
|
2) or1ksim (optional)
|
|
|
|
or1ksim is the architectural simulator which will allow you to actually run
|
|
your OpenRISC Linux kernel if you don't have an OpenRISC processor at hand.
|
|
|
|
git clone git://openrisc.net/jonas/or1ksim-svn
|
|
|
|
cd or1ksim
|
|
./configure --prefix=$OPENRISC_PREFIX
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
3) Linux kernel
|
|
|
|
Build the kernel as usual
|
|
|
|
make ARCH=openrisc defconfig
|
|
make ARCH=openrisc
|
|
|
|
4) Run in architectural simulator
|
|
|
|
Grab the or1ksim platform configuration file (from the or1ksim source) and
|
|
together with your freshly built vmlinux, run your kernel with the following
|
|
incantation:
|
|
|
|
sim -f arch/openrisc/or1ksim.cfg vmlinux
|
|
|
|

|
|
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
|
|
