Commit Message

Alistair Francis July 22, 2019, 8:44 p.m. UTC 
This patch adds support for the HiFive Unleashed board. This includes
building the firmware, kernel and rootFS for the HiFive Unleased.

This patch includes a post-image.sh script and genimage.cfg file
used to generate a sdcard image that can be dd-ed to an SD card.

The manual steps are useful even when genimage works as
users won't always need to flash the entire SD card. For example a
kernel update will only require one partition being updated manually via
dd instead of a full reflash.

Hello Alistair,

The commit title should have been:

Documenting such manual steps is not very useful in readme.txt.
readme.txt is only meant as a very introductory document on how to use
the image produced by Buildroot. More advanced use-cases cannot all be
documented in readme.txt files, so I dropped that part from readme.txt.

The folder board/sifive/hifive_unleased/ had a typo: unleased ->
unleashed. This typo was also in the title of your commit.

This is not necessary: at the end of a build, opensbi will have been
built after linux, so it's updated. It's only if you later change the
linux configuration again that you need to regenerate the opensbi
package. Buildroot only guarantees that a build output is correct for
completely clean builds, so I dropped this. This makes the
post-image.sh script useless, because we can use
support/scripts/genimage.sh.

I fixed those different aspects, and merged the patch. See the final
commit at:

  https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/?id=86531fae3e3c7ea59430cd0f86260d20fafa9b16

Thanks!

+SiFive HiFive Unleashed
+=======================
+
+This file describes how to use the pre-defined Buildroot
+configuration for the SiFive HiFive Unleashed board.
+
+Further information about the HiFive Unleashed board can be found
+at https://www.sifive.com/boards/hifive-unleashed
+
+Building
+========
+
+Configure Buildroot using the default board configuration:
+
+  $ make hifive_unleashed_defconfig
+
+Customise the build as necessary:
+
+  $ make menuconfig
+
+Start the build:
+
+  $ make
+
+Result of the build
+===================
+
+Once the build has finished you will have the following files:
+
+    output/images/
+    +-- fw_jump.bin
+    +-- fw_jump.elf
+    +-- fw_payload.bin
+    +-- fw_payload.elf
+    +-- Image
+    +-- rootfs.ext2
+    +-- rootfs.ext4
+    +-- rootfs.tar
+    +-- sdcard.img
+
+
+Creating a bootable SD card with genimage
+=========================================
+
+Buildroot builds a SD card image for you. All you need to do is dd the
+image to your SD card, which can be done with the following command:
+
+  $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4096
+
+Creating a bootable SD card with sgdisk
+=======================================
+
+Below are manual instructions to setup the SD card.
+
+Create the partitions on the SD card:
+
+  $ sudo sgdisk -g --clear \
+        --new=1:2048:67583  \
+        --change-name=1:bootloader \
+        --typecode=1:2E54B353-1271-4842-806F-E436D6AF6985 \
+        --new=2:264192: \
+        --change-name=2:root \
+        --typecode=2:0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4 \
+        /dev/mmcblk0
+
+The first partition will contain the bootloader and kernel
+(fw_payload.bin). The second partition contains the Linux
+filesystem.
+
+Copy the bootloader and kernel to the SD card:
+
+  $ sudo dd if=output/images/fw_payload.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4096
+
+Copy the rootFS to the SD card:
+
+  $ sudo dd if=output/images/rootfs.ext4 of=/dev/mmcblk0p2 bs=4096
+
+Booting the SD card on the board
+================================
+
+Make sure that the all DIP switches are set to the off position for
+default boot mode (MSEL mode = 1111), insert the SD card and power
+up the board.
+
+Connect the USB cable and open minicom (/dev/ttyUSB1, 115200, 8N1).
+
+See the 'SiFive HiFive Unleashed Getting Started Guide' for
+more details (https://www.sifive.com/documentation).
+
+You will get a warning reported by fdisk when you examine the SD card.
+This is because the genimage.cfg file doesn't specify the SD card size
+(as people will naturally have different sized cards), so the
+secondary GPT header is placed after the rootfs rather than at the end
+of the disk where it is expected to be.
+
+You will see something like this at boot time:
+
+[    2.318722] GPT:Primary header thinks Alt. header is not at the end of the disk.
+[    2.325390] GPT:190496 != 122142719
+[    2.328843] GPT:Alternate GPT header not at the end of the disk.
+[    2.334824] GPT:190496 != 122142719
+[    2.338302] GPT: Use GNU Parted to correct GPT errors.
+[    2.343456]  mmcblk0: p1 p2
