Thank you! Is there a demo showing how to add new peripheral? Such as Gpio.

No, but you can copy or customise the functionality connected to the switches.

I found isc-dhcp-clien was not intsall correctly. Maybe that is reason for this error

Is-dhcp-client is not needed because it’s functionality is built into systemd

I recommend the buildroot option, Debian is a bit unstable just now

Ok, before debian, I tried the buildroot. It's very simple and fast. However, it's not very convenient to install software. Besides compiling the source code, is there any easier way to install the software, such as Python.

Python, Perl, Java etc are all interpreters which run slowly on the FPGA and are not (yet) optimised for RISCV. The intended buildroot usage is to add your software to the buildroot tree as needed. This release of buildroot does not support compilation on the target. You are free to install Python but it will run rather slowly and use more memory than a C/C++ program.

Thank you for your help, there are so much knowledge I need learn, and I will spend more time on it.

How should I use X-windows? I change the ~/.xinitrc and get the result:

Error: Can't open display:
xterm: Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set

Take a look at the X-windows page in the LowRISC documentation. You need a Bluetooth mouse and PMOD-BT adapter. The command startx run on the VGA console starts the server.

I copy the file 'mainf/host' to my home file. Then successfully compile the c++ program using gcc(add command '-I ~/host/include') in '/host/bin'.
I have ever tried to add software using buildroot, but it seems that I must recompile all the packages which is too slow.

I try to using gdb to debug my new gpio, but I find it is useless to change my main.c program and cpu can't read my new variable.

Sorry, I mean I'm doing bare metal testing and I've modified ‘/lowrisc-chip-ariane-v0.7/fpga/src/etherboot/src/main.c’. How can I compile the main.c to debug my hardware?

Hello, I want to add some linux device drivers, but I find /usr/src is empty. How should I get the required linux-headers?

@jrrk

jrrk commented Mar 31, 2020

In this release, device drivers for Linux are managed by buildroot as a patch to a stock Linux download. If you want to develop your own drivers, you could either copy the tree out of buildroot after automatic patching or download your own copy of the kernel and patch it manually. Either way /use/src is not used, but you could use it you want the same Linux kernel to run on your desktop.

Thank you. I tried to compile the GPIO driver on the host using the toolchain and kernel provided by buildroot. But when I tried to mount the driver on the kernel, I got some errors.

root@lowrisc:/home/test# insmod gpio.ko
[  430.244004] gpio: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
../machine/mtrap.c:21: machine mode: unhandlable trap 4 @ 0x0000000080004c28
Power off

This is very confusing. Do you have any idea to solve this problem?

You can identify trap 4 from the exception codes in the privileged instructions manual.

I have the same problem as you did. FAILED to raise network interfaces. And I tried this:
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
then edit:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

to:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

reboot, it'll be ok to raise network interfaces. But still unable to connect to internet....
Do u have any solution on this?

I am trying to using dma to move data from DDR to my new peripheral, and there are some problems.
I think I need to configuring the DDR controller to have a second AXI slave port. Should I connect it to DMA's AXI port or AXI BUS?
If I connect it to AXI_BUS, the DMA works as a master, but I find there are only one master port in 'demux' and it was be connected to Rocket.

you must be doing the RISCV挑战杯 dude. I also have the problem "failed to raise network interface", how did you solve it?
