# SiFive HiFive Unleashed
|
||||
|
||||
This page describes how to run coreboot on the [HiFive Unleashed] development
|
||||
board from [SiFive], the first RISC-V board on the market with enough resources
|
||||
to run a multiuser operating system.
|
||||
|
||||
For general setup instructions, please refer to the [Getting Started Guide].
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## TODO
|
||||
|
||||
The following things are still missing from this coreboot port:
|
||||
|
||||
- Trampoline in the MBR block to support boot mode 1
|
||||
- SiFive UART driver
|
||||
- CBMEM support
|
||||
- FU540 clock configuration
|
||||
- FU540 RAM init
|
||||
- Placing the ramstage in DRAM
|
||||
- Starting the U54 cores
|
||||
- FU540 PIN configuration and GPIO access macros
|
||||
- FU540 OTP driver and serial number read-out
|
||||
- Support for booting Linux on RISC-V
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Run `make menuconfig` and select _SiFive_/_HiFive Unleashed_ in the _Mainboard_
|
||||
menu.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Boot modes
|
||||
|
||||
A total of 16 boot modes can be configured using the switches labeled `MSEL0`
|
||||
through `MSEL3`. The most important ones are as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
- **MSEL=1**: Jump directly into the SPI flash, bypassing ROM1
|
||||
- **MSEL=11**: Load FSBL from SD-card
|
||||
- **MSEL=15**: Default boot mode; Load FSBL/coreboot from a GPT partition on
|
||||
SPI flash
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Flashing coreboot
|
||||
|
||||
The HiFive Unleashed has an 32 MiB SPI flash (**ISSI IS25WP256D**), that can be
|
||||
programmed from within Linux running on the board, via USB/JTAG, or directly
|
||||
with an SPI programmer.
|
||||
|
||||
### Internal programming
|
||||
|
||||
The SPI flash can be accessed as `/dev/mtd0` from Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
### USB/JTAG
|
||||
|
||||
To program the flash via USB/JTAG, connect the USB port to a computer. If the
|
||||
board is powered on, two new serial ports, for example `/dev/ttyUSB0` and
|
||||
`/dev/ttyUSB1` will appear. The first is JTAG, and the second is connected to
|
||||
the SoC's UART.
|
||||
|
||||
- Download and build the [RISC-V fork of OpenOCD].
|
||||
- Download the [OpenOCD script] for Freedom Unleashed.
|
||||
- Start OpenOCD with `openocd -f openocd.cfg`
|
||||
- Connect to OpenOCD's command interface (via telnet) and enter the line
|
||||
marked with `> `:
|
||||
```
|
||||
> flash write_image erase unlock build/coreboot.rom 0x20000000
|
||||
auto erase enabled
|
||||
auto unlock enabled
|
||||
wrote 33554432 bytes from file build/coreboot.rom in 1524.943848s (21.488 KiB/s)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Note that programming the whole flash with OpenOCD isn't fast. In this
|
||||
example it took just over 25 minutes. This process can be sped up
|
||||
considerably by building/flashing a smaller image; OpenOCD does not check if
|
||||
the image and the flash have the same size.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### External programming
|
||||
|
||||
External programming with an SPI adapter and [flashrom] may work, but has not
|
||||
been tested. Please study the [schematics] before going this route.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Error codes
|
||||
|
||||
The zeroth-stage bootloader (ZSBL) in ROM1 can print error codes on the serial
|
||||
console in certain situations.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
// Error codes are formatted as follows:
|
||||
// [63:60] [59:56] [55:0]
|
||||
// bootstage trap errorcode
|
||||
// If trap == 1, then errorcode is actually the mcause register with the
|
||||
// interrupt bit shifted to bit 55.
|
||||
```
