![]() The source_hart and hartid parameter is really not required in IPI callbacks of sbi_platform because current hartid can always be obtained by calling sbi_current_hartid() API. Signed-off-by: Anup Patel <anup.patel@wdc.com> |

RISC-V Open Source Supervisor Binary Interface (OpenSBI)
The RISC-V Supervisor Binary Interface (SBI) is a recommended interface between:
- A platform specific firmware (M-mode) and a general purpose OS or hypervisor or bootloader (S-mode or HS-mode).
- A hypervisor (HS-mode) and a general purpose OS or bootloader (VS-mode)
The RISC-V SBI specification is maintained as an independent project by the RISC-V Foundation in Github
OpenSBI aims to provides an open-source and extensible implementation of the RISC-V SBI specification for case 1 mentioned above. OpenSBI implementation can be easily extended by RISC-V platform or System-on-Chip vendors to fit a particular hardware configuration.
OpenSBI provides three components:
- libsbi.a - A generic OpenSBI static library
- libplatsbi.a - Platform specific OpenSBI static library, that is, libsbi.a plus platform specific hooks
- firmwares - Platform specific bootable firmware binaries
Building and Installing generic libsbi.a
For cross-compiling, the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE must be defined to specify the toolchain executable name prefix, e.g. riscv64-unknown-elf- if the gcc executable used is riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc.
To build the generic OpenSBI library libsbi.a, simply execute:
make
All compiled binaries will be placed in the build directory. To specify an alternate build directory target, run:
make O=<build_directory>
To generate files to be installed for using libsbi.a in other projects, run:
make install
This will create the install directory with all necessary include files and binary files under it. To specify an alternate installation directory, run:
make I=<install_directory> install
Building and Installing platform specific libsbi.a and firmwares
The libplatsbi.a and firmware files are only built if the
PLATFORM=<platform_subdir>
argument is specified on make command lines.
<platform_subdir>
must specify the path to one of the leaf directories
under the platform
directory. For example, to compile the library and
firmware for QEMU RISC-V virt machine, <platform_subdir>
should be qemu/virt
.
To build libsbi, libplatsbi, and firmwares for a specific platform, run:
make PLATFORM=<platform_subdir>
or
make PLATFORM=<platform_subdir> O=<build_directory>
To install libsbi, headers, libplatsbi, and firmwares, run:
make PLATFORM=<platform_subdir> install
or
make PLATFORM=<platform_subdir> I=<install_directory> install
In addition, platform specific make command-line options to top-level make
, such as PLATFORM_ or FW_ can also be specified. These
options are described under docs/platform/<platform_name>.md
and
docs/firmware/<firmware_name>.md
.
