[PATCH v6 19/19] riscv: Add Sipeed Maix support

Sean Anderson seanga2 at gmail.com
Thu Mar 5 19:13:07 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 v6:
- Remove trailing whitespace from documentation
- Remove configuration for spi/pinmux/gpio features
- Flesh out documentation some more

Changes in v5:
- Configure relocation location with CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_*
- Enable ram clocks
- Add pinmux/gpio/led support
- Remove (broken) MMC support
- Store the environment in flash
- Add partitions
- Add bootcmd
- Add docs for pinctrl and booting

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

+
+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::
+
+    &sysclk {
+	assigned-clocks = <&sysclk K210_CLK_PLL0>;
+	assigned-clock-rates = <800000000>;
+    };
+
+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. This is the example given
+above. The CPU can be overclocked to around 600 MHz, and underclocked to 26 MHz.
+
+It is possible to set PLL2's parent to PLL0. The plls are more accurate when
+converting between similar frequencies. This makes it easier to get an accurate
+frequency for I2S. As an example, consider sampling an I2S device at 44.1 kHz.
+On this device, the I2S serial clock runs at 64 times the sample rate.
+Therefore, we would like to run PLL2 at an even multiple of 2.8224 MHz. If
+PLL2's parent is IN0, we could use a frequency of 390 MHz (the same as the CPU's
+default speed).  Dividing by 138 yields a serial clock of about 2.8261 MHz. This
+results in a sample rate of 44.158 kHz---around 50 Hz or .1% too fast. If,
+instead, we set PLL2's parent to PLL1 running at 390 MHz, and request a rate of
+2.8224 * 136 = 383.8464 MHz, the achieved rate is 383.90625 MHz. Dividing by 136
+yields a serial clock of about 2.8228 MHz. This results in a sample rate of
+44.107 kHz---just 7 Hz or .02% too fast. This configuration is shown in the
+following example:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    &sysclk {
+	assigned-clocks = <&sysclk K210_CLK_PLL1>, <&sysclk K210_CLK_PLL2>;
+	assigned-clock-parents = <0>, <&sysclk K210_CLK_PLL1>;
+	assigned-clock-rates = <390000000>, <383846400>;
+    };
+
+There are a couple of quirks to the PLLs. First, there are more frequency ratios
+just above and below 1.0, but there is a small gap around 1.0. To be explicit,
+if the input frequency is 100 MHz, it would be impossible to have an output of
+99 or 101 MHz. In addition, there is a maximum frequency for the internal VCO,
+so higher input/output frequencies will be less accurate than lower ones.
+
+Technical Details
+-----------------
+
+Boot Sequence
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+1. ``RESET`` pin is deasserted.
+2. Both harts begin executing at ``0x00001000``.
+3. Both harts jump to firmware at ``0x88000000``.
+4. One hart is chosen as a boot hart.
+5. Firmware reads value of pin ``IO_16`` (ISP).
+
+   * If the pin is low, enter ISP mode. This mode allows loading data to ram,
+     writing it to flash, and booting from specific addresses.
+   * If the pin is high, continue boot.
+6. Firmware reads the next stage from flash (SPI3) to address ``0x80000000``.
+
+   * If byte 0 is 1, the next stage is decrypted using the built-in AES
+     accelerator and the one-time programmable, 128-bit AES key.
+   * Bytes 1 to 4 hold the length of the next stage.
+   * The SHA-256 sum of the next stage is automatically calculated, and verified
+     against the 32 bytes following the next stage.
+7. The boot hart sends an IPI to the other hart telling it to jump to the next
+   stage.
+8. The boot hart jumps to ``0x80000000``.
