[PATCH v4 17/17] riscv: Add Sipeed Maix support

Sean Anderson seanga2 at gmail.com
Tue Feb 11 07:04:25 CET 2020


The Sipeed Maix series is a collection of boards built around the RISC-V
Kendryte K210 processor. This processor contains several peripherals to
accelerate neural network processing and other "ai" tasks. This includes a
"KPU" neural network processor, an audio processor supporting beamforming
reception, and a digital video port supporting capture and output at VGA
resolution. Other peripherals include 8M of sram (accessible with and
without caching); remappable pins, including 40 GPIOs; AES, FFT, and SHA256
accelerators; a DMA controller; and I2C, I2S, and SPI controllers. Maix
peripherals vary, but include spi flash; on-board usb-serial bridges; ports
for cameras, displays, and sd cards; and ESP32 chips. Currently, only the
Sipeed Maix Bit V2.0 (bitm) is supported, but the boards are fairly
similar.

Documentation for Maix boards is located at
<http://dl.sipeed.com/MAIX/HDK/>.  Documentation for the Kendryte K210 is
located at <https://kendryte.com/downloads/>. However, hardware details are
rather lacking, so most technical reference has been taken from the
standalone sdk located at
<https://github.com/kendryte/kendryte-standalone-sdk>.

Changes in v4:
- Rework documentation to be organized by board mfg not cpu mfg
- Update docs to reflect working SPI support
- Add proper spi support
- Don't define unneecessary macros in config.h
- Lower the default stack so it isn't clobbered on relocation
- Update MAINTAINERS
- Update copyright

Changes in v3:
- Reorder to be last in the patch series
- Add documentation for the board
- Generate defconfig with "make savedefconfig"
- Update Kconfig to imply most features we need
- Update MAINTAINERS

Changes in v2:
- Select CONFIG_SYS_RISCV_NOCOUNTER
- Imply CONFIG_CLK_K210
- Remove spurious references to CONFIG_ARCH_K210
- Remove many configs from defconfig where the defaults were fine
- Add a few "not set" lines to suppress unneeded defaults
- Reduce pre-reloc malloc space, now that clocks initialization happens
  later

+Maix Bit
+========
+
+Several of the Sipeed Maix series of boards cotain the Kendryte K210 processor,
+a 64-bit RISC-V CPU. This processor contains several peripherals to accelerate
+neural network processing and other "ai" tasks. This includes a "KPU" neural
+network processor, an audio processor supporting beamforming reception, and a
+digital video port supporting capture and output at VGA resolution. Other
+peripherals include 8M of SRAM (accessible with and without caching); remappable
+pins, including 40 GPIOs; AES, FFT, and SHA256 accelerators; a DMA controller;
+and I2C, I2S, and SPI controllers. Maix peripherals vary, but include spi flash;
+on-board usb-serial bridges; ports for cameras, displays, and sd cards; and
+ESP32 chips. Currently, only the Sipeed Maix Bit V2.0 (bitm) is supported, but
+the boards are fairly similar.
+
+Documentation for Maix boards is available from
+`Sipeed's website <http://dl.sipeed.com/MAIX/HDK/>`_.
+Documentation for the Kendryte K210 is available from
+`Kendryte's website <https://kendryte.com/downloads/>`_. However, hardware
+details are rather lacking, so most technical reference has been taken from the
+`standalone sdk <https://github.com/kendryte/kendryte-standalone-sdk>`_.
+
+Build and boot steps
+--------------------
+
+To build u-boot, run
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+    make sipeed_maix_bitm_defconfig
+    make CROSS_COMPILE=<your cross compile prefix>
+
+To flash u-boot to a maix bit, run
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+    kflash -tp /dev/<your tty here> -B bit_mic u-boot-dtb.bin
+
+Boot output should look like the following:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+    
+    U-Boot 2020.01-00465-g1da52c6c9a (Feb 10 2020 - 20:26:50 -0500)
+    
+    DRAM:  8 MiB
+    MMC:
+    In:    serial at 38000000
+    Out:   serial at 38000000
+    Err:   serial at 38000000
+    =>
+
+To boot a payload, first flash it to the board. This can be done by passing the
+``-a <ADDRESS>`` option to kflash. After flashing your payload, load it by
+running
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+    => sf probe
+    SF: Detected w25q128fw with page size 256 Bytes, erase size 4 KiB, total 16 MiB
+    => sf read 80000000 <ADDRESS + 5> <SIZE>
+    device 0 offset <ADDRESS + 5>, size <SIZE>
+    SF: <SIZE> bytes @ <ADDRESS + 5> Read: OK
+    => go 80000000
+    ## Starting application at 0x80000000 ...
+
+**NB:** kflash adds a 5-byte header to payloads (and a 32-byte trailer) to all
+payloads it flashes. To load your payload properly, you will need to add 5 bytes
+to the address that you gave to kflash.
+
+The MMC (SD-card reader) does not work yet.
+
+Over- and Under-clocking
+------------------------
+
+To change the clock speed of the K210, you will need to enable
+``CONFIG_CLK_K210_SET_RATE`` and edit the board's device tree. To do this, add a
+section to ``arch/riscv/arch/riscv/dts/k210-maix-bit.dts`` like the following:
+
+.. code-block:: dts
+
+    &sysclk {
+ 	assigned-clocks = <&sysclk K210_CLK_PLL0>;
+ 	assigned-clock-rates = <780000000>;
+    };
+
+There are three PLLs on the K210: PLL0 is the parent of most of the components,
+including the CPU and RAM. PLL1 is the parent of the neural network coprocessor.
+PLL2 is the parent of the sound processing devices. Note that child clocks of
+PLL0 and PLL2 run at *half* the speed of the PLLs. For example, if PLL0 is
+running at 800 MHz, then the CPU will run at 400 MHz.
