Closed pcotret closed 1 year ago

pcotret commented 1 year ago

linux4 doesn't exist anymore

ERROR:SoC:linux4 CPU variant not supported, supported are: 
 - full
 - linux
 - medium
 - small

linux seems to be a good alternative https://github.com/litex-hub/pythondata-cpu-rocket/blob/master/pythondata_cpu_rocket/verilog/update.sh#L101

See https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/commit/c3e93620ec92510ca544c3ed0e83bddb2ad433c9

The new "linux4" would probably be --cpu-variant medium --cpu-num-cores 4

Thanks for the information, I'll check it tomorrow. A single-core Rocket should work as well even if it's slow.

No worries. The entire README document for linux-on-litex-rocket needs a major update, to reflect the switch to opensbi and the ability to boot a "real" os distro, like fedora. I keep hoping I'll have some cycles to get rid of all the .dts files (by generating them with json2dts directly in upstream litex), and spend time rewriting the README after that's also taken care of... :)
