@@ -24,37 +18,54 @@ In order to build and run Linux for OpenRISC, you'll need at least a basic
toolchain and, perhaps, the architectural simulator. Steps to get these bits
in place are outlined here.
-1) The toolchain can be obtained from openrisc.io. Instructions for building
-a toolchain can be found at:
+1) Toolchain

+Toolchain binaries can be obtained from openrisc.io or our github releases page.
+Instructions for building the different toolchains can be found on openrisc.io

+2) Building
-2) or1ksim (optional)
+Build the Linux kernel as usual
-or1ksim is the architectural simulator which will allow you to actually run
-your OpenRISC Linux kernel if you don't have an OpenRISC processor at hand.
+ make ARCH=openrisc defconfig
+ make ARCH=openrisc
- git clone https://github.com/openrisc/or1ksim.git
+3) Running on FPGA (optional)
- cd or1ksim
- ./configure --prefix=$OPENRISC_PREFIX
- make
- make install
+The OpenRISC community typically uses FuseSoC to manage building and programming
+an SoC into an FPGA. The below is an example of programming a De0 Nano
+development board with the OpenRISC SoC. During the build FPGA RTL is code
+downloaded from the FuseSoC IP cores repository and built using the FPGA vendor
+tools. Binaries are loaded onto the board with openocd.
-3) Linux kernel
+ git clone https://github.com/olofk/fusesoc
+ cd fusesoc
+ sudo pip install -e .
-Build the kernel as usual
+ fusesoc init
+ fusesoc build de0_nano
+ fusesoc pgm de0_nano
- make ARCH=openrisc defconfig
- make ARCH=openrisc
+ openocd -f interface/altera-usb-blaster.cfg \
+ -f board/or1k_generic.cfg
+
+ telnet localhost 4444
+ > init
+ > halt; load_image vmlinux ; reset
-4) Run in architectural simulator
+4) Running on a Simulator (optional)
-Grab the or1ksim platform configuration file (from the or1ksim source) and
-together with your freshly built vmlinux, run your kernel with the following
-incantation:
+QEMU is a processor emulator which we recommend for simulating the OpenRISC
+platform. Please follow the OpenRISC instructions on the QEMU website to get
+Linux running on QEMU. You can build QEMU yourself, but your Linux distribution
+likely provides binary packages to support OpenRISC.
