Sipeed MAIX-Bit Board
|
||
|
|
=====================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Sipeed MAXI-Bit board is a dual-core RISC-V 64-bits board based on the
|
||
|
|
Canaan Kendryte K210 SoC.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Prerequisite
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to use the kflash utility to program this board, the user must have
|
||
|
|
access to the board USB serial device file. The simplest way to do this is to
|
||
|
|
add your user to the same group as this device file. Assume the device file is
|
||
|
|
/dev/ttyUSB0, first identify the device group name. In most cases, it is
|
||
|
|
either "dialout" or "uucp". Also verify that read-write access is enabled for
|
||
|
|
the group:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0
|
||
|
|
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 May 26 13:48 /dev/ttyUSB0
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then add yourself to that group (dialout in this example):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ sudo usermod -a -G dialout $(whoami)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To enable the above, it is sometimes necessary to logout and login again.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Buildroot Configuration
|
||
|
|
-----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Two buildroot configuration files are provided:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) Direct Linux Kernel Boot
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is defined by the sipeed_maix_bit_defconfig configuration. This
|
||
|
|
configuration allows building a bootable kernel image with a built-in initramfs
|
||
|
|
root file system (the board SD card is not used). The built kernel image can be
|
||
|
|
flashed directly to the board ROM for direct booting. No boot loader is
|
||
|
|
required.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(2) U-Boot SD-Card Boot
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The sipeed_maix_bit_sdcard_defconfig configuration allows building a kernel
|
||
|
|
image with the root file system on the board SD card. U-Boot is used as the
|
||
|
|
boot loader.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Both configuration files will also compile and install the kflash and
|
||
|
|
pyserial-miniterm host utilities to program bootable image files to the board
|
||
|
|
and open a serial terminal console.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Direct Linux Kernel Boot
|
||
|
|
-------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using the sipeed_maix_bit_defconfig configuration, the bootable kernel binary
|
||
|
|
image is built as follows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ make sipeed_maix_bit_defconfig
|
||
|
|
$ make
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The bootable binary image is the output/images/loader.bin file. This image file
|
||
|
|
can be written to the board boot ROM using the kflash utility.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ output/host/bin/kflash -b 1500000 -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -t output/images/loader.bin
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once the kernel image file is fully programmed, a terminal console is open and
|
||
|
|
the board can be rebooted by pressing the reset button on the board (if it does
|
||
|
|
not reboot automatically).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The output will be similar to the following.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

To open a terminal console without re-flashing the board, the pyserial-miniterm
|
||
|
|
host tool can be used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ output/host/bin/pyserial-miniterm --raw --eol=LF /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The options "--raw" and "--eol=LF" are added here to avoid a double carriage
|
||
|
|
return each time a command is entered.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
U-Boot SD-Card Boot
|
||
|
|
-------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The build procedure is similar to the direct Linux kernel boot case.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ make sipeed_maix_bit_sdcard_defconfig
|
||
|
|
$ make
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The build process will generate two files under the output/images directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* sdcard.img: The image file for the SD card filesystem. This image has 2
|
||
|
|
partitions. The first partition is a vfat partition containing the kernel
|
||
|
|
uImage and the board device tree binary. The second partition is the root
|
||
|
|
filesystem with busybox installed. The second partition is formatted using
|
||
|
|
ext2 (rev1).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* uboot.bin: U-Boot bootable binary to load and boot the kernel from the SD
|
||
|
|
card.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The SD card can be prepared by writing the sdcard.img file, as follows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
|
||
|
|
$ sync
|
||
|
|
$ eject /dev/sdX
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Where /dev/sdX is the device file name of the SD card. Once completed, the SD
|
||
|
|
card can be inserted into the board and the U-Boot binary image written to the
|
||
|
|
board boot flash using the kflash utility.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ output/host/bin/kflash -b 1500000 -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -t output/images/u-boot.bin
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The above command will program U-Boot image to the board boot ROM and open a
|
||
|
|
terminal console once the u-boot.bin file is fully programmed. Reboot into the
|
||
|
|
newly programmed environment by pressing the board reset button.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The output will be similar to the following.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```

|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Of note is that the kernel mounts the SD card as read-only by default to avoid
|
||
|
|
corruptions of the ext2 root file system when the board is powered down. This
|
||
|
|
is recommended as this board does not support clean shutdown or halt.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Similarly to the initramfs build case, a console can be open without
|
||
|
|
re-flashing the board using the host tool pyserial-miniterm.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ output/host/bin/pyserial-miniterm --raw --eol=LF /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
|
||
|
|
```
