Update the OpenRISC readme to provide some more up-to-date information on how to get started with OpenRISC. This includes: - remove references to southpole who no longer are consulting for OpenRISC (confirmed with Jonas) - suggested QEMU instead of the old or1ksim as QEMU is well supported - include instructions on how to get an FPGA board running Suggested-by: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> Signed-off-by: Stafford Horne <shorne@gmail.com> |

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:
website http://openrisc.io
email openrisc@lists.librecores.org
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
binaries https://github.com/openrisc/or1k-gcc/releases
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.
qemu openrisc https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms/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
