Linux on Spike RISC-V ISA simulator
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
This configuration provides a minimal working setup to run a Linux
|
|
kernel in the Spike RISC-V ISA simulator.
|
|
|
|
The Spike ISA simulator can be an interresting alternative to Qemu, in
|
|
some specific cases. For example: simulating new instructions (see [1]),
|
|
simulating riscv-openocd/gdb debug sessions (see [2], [3]), or
|
|
generating an accurate per-instruction log of execution (see
|
|
riscv-isa-sim spike -l option)...
|
|
|
|
To run Buildroot Linux in Spike, use the commands:
|
|
|
|
make spike_riscv64_defconfig
|
|
make
|
|
./board/spike/riscv64/start.sh
|
|
|
|
The boot is made with the standard RISC-V OpenSBI boot loader. In
|
|
order to keep the simulation simple, the rootfs is passed as an initrd
|
|
ramfs.
|
|
|
|
Note: at the time of this writing, Spike v1.1.0 and OpenSBI v1.0 does
|
|
not support console input emulation for 32bit RISC-V systems. A 32bit
|
|
Linux system can boot and reach the login, but it's not possible to
|
|
login. See [4].
