OpenSBI Platform Requirements
|
||
|
|
=============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The RISC-V platform requirements for OpenSBI can change over time
|
||
|
|
with advances in RISC-V specifications and ecosystem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To handle this, we have two types of RISC-V platform requirements:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. **Base platform requirements** which apply to all OpenSBI releases
|
||
|
|
2. **Release specific platform requirements** which apply to a OpenSBI
|
||
|
|
release and later releases
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently, we don't have any **Release specific platform requirements**
|
||
|
|
but such platform requirements will be added in future.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Base Platform Requirements
|
||
|
|
--------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The base RISC-V platform requirements for OpenSBI are as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. At least rv32ima or rv64ima required on all HARTs
|
||
|
|
2. At least one HART should have S-mode support because:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* SBI calls are meant for RISC-V S-mode (Supervisor mode)
|
||
|
|
* OpenSBI implements SBI calls for S-mode software
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. The MTVEC CSR on all HARTs must support direct mode
|
||
|
|
4. The PMP CSRs are optional. If PMP CSRs are not implemented then
|
||
|
|
OpenSBI cannot protect M-mode firmware and secured memory regions
|
||
|
|
5. The TIME CSR is optional. If TIME CSR is not implemented in
|
||
|
|
hardware then a 64-bit MMIO counter is required to track time
|
||
|
|
and emulate TIME CSR
|
||
|
|
6. Hardware support for injecting M-mode software interrupts on
|
||
|
|
a multi-HART platform
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The RISC-V extensions not covered by rv32ima or rv64ima are optional
|
||
|
|
for OpenSBI. Although, OpenSBI will detect and handle some of these
|
||
|
|
optional RISC-V extensions at runtime.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The optional RISC-V extensions handled by OpenSBI at runtime are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* D-extension: Double precision floating point
|
||
|
|
* F-extension: Single precision floating point
|
||
|
|
* H-extension: Hypervisor
