Milk-V Duo

CV1800B RISC-V SoC

The CV1800B is a high-performance, low-power 1+1 64-bit RISC-V SoC from Sophgo.

Mainline support

The support for following drivers are already enabled: 1. ns16550 UART Driver.

Building

  1. Add the RISC-V toolchain to your PATH.

  2. Setup ARCH & cross compilation environment variable:

export CROSS_COMPILE=<riscv64 toolchain prefix>
cd <U-Boot-dir>
make milkv_duo_defconfig
make

This will generate u-boot-dtb.bin

Booting

Currently, we rely on vendor FSBL(First Stage Boot Loader) to initialize the clock and load the u-boot image, then bootup from it.

Alternatively, to run u-boot-dtb.bin on top of FSBL, follow these steps:

  1. Use the vendor-provided tool to create a unified fip.bin file containing FSBL, OpenSBI, and U-Boot.

  2. Place the generated fip.bin file into the FAT partition of the SD card.

  3. Insert the SD card into the board and power it on.

The board will automatically execute the FSBL from the fip.bin file. Subsequently, it will transition to OpenSBI, and finally, OpenSBI will invoke U-Boot.
