+Linux on Spike RISC-V 32-bit 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_riscv32_defconfig
|
|
|
+ make
|
|
|
+ ./board/spike/riscv32/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.
