Microchip Polarfire (MPFS)

===========================
|
|
|
|
RV64 64-bit RISC-V multiprocessor-based Microcontroller Subsystem
|
|
(MPFS025T, MPFS095T, MPFS160T, MPFS250T, MPFS460T)

MPFS Toolchain
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
A generic RISC-V toolchain can be used to build MPFS projects.
|
|
Like: https://xpack.github.io/riscv-none-embed-gcc or https://github.com/sifive/freedom-tools/releases
|
|
|
|
Booting
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
The NuttX works as a standalone operating system that may initialize all the required clocks and
|
|
peripherals including DDR memory. Alternatively, the vendor's HSS bootloader may be used instead to
|
|
perform all the initialization steps.
|
|
|
|
Building and flashing
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Configure the NuttX project: ``./tools/configure.sh icicle:nsh``
|
|
Run ``make`` to build the project.
|
|
|
|
If NuttX is built as a standalone OS with the config option CONFIG_MPFS_BOOTLOADER set, it's important
|
|
to note that the image size is very limited: only (128K - 256) bytes. 256 bytes are reserved for the
|
|
header that must be prepended into the NuttX binary. This binary is called hss-envm-wrapper-bm1-dummySbic.bin
|
|
and may be found from the vendor's HSS implementation. Moreover, after prepending the 256-byte header,
|
|
the LMA section needs to be adjusted, for example::
|
|
|
|
riscv64-unknown-elf-objcopy -I binary -O ihex --change-section-lma *+0x20220000 nuttx.bin nuttx.hex
|
|
|
|
The output binary nuttx.hex may be flashed with the LiberoSoc tool.
|
|
The tool is available from: https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/fpgas-and-plds/fpga-and-soc-design-tools/fpga/libero-software-later-versions#Documents%20and%20Downloads
|
|
|
|
There's an alternative way to use NuttX, without the CONFIG_MPFS_BOOTLOADER option set. This expects the
|
|
HSS bootloader sets up the system (memories, caches, initializes clocks etc.).
|
|
First make sure that ``hss-payload-generator`` is installed.
|
|
Available from: https://github.com/polarfire-soc/hart-software-services
|
|
|
|
This tool is used to convert the ELF/bin to a compatible HSS payload image
|
|
|
|
Create HSS payload bin::
|
|
|
|
hss-payload-generator -v -c hss-nuttx.yml payload.bin
|
|
|
|
Debugging with OpenOCD
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Compatible OpenOCD and configs can be downloaded from:
|
|
https://www.microsemi.com/product-directory/design-tools/4879-softconsole#downloads
|
|
|
|
OpenOCD can then be used::
|
|
|
|
openocd -c "set DEVICE MPFS" --file board/microsemi-riscv.cfg
|
|
|
|
