The openrisc.net domain expired and was taken over by squatters. These updates point documentation to the new domain, mailing lists and git repos. Also, Jonas is not the main maintainer anylonger, he reviews changes but does not maintain a repo or sent pull requests. Updating this to add Stafford and Stefan who are the active maintainers.

OpenRISC Linux
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
This is a port of Linux to the OpenRISC class of microprocessors; the initial
|
|
target architecture, specifically, is the 32-bit OpenRISC 1000 family (or1k).
|
|
|
|
For information about OpenRISC processors and ongoing development:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

Build instructions for OpenRISC toolchain and Linux
|
|
===================================================
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/openrisc/tutorials
|
|
|
|
2) or1ksim (optional)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/openrisc/or1ksim.git
|
|
|
|
cd or1ksim
|
|
./configure --prefix=$OPENRISC_PREFIX
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
3) Linux kernel
|
|
|
|
Build the kernel as usual
|
|
|
|
make ARCH=openrisc defconfig
|
|
make ARCH=openrisc
|
|
|
|
4) Run in architectural simulator
|
|
|
|
Grab the or1ksim platform configuration file (from the or1ksim source) and
|
|
together with your freshly built vmlinux, run your kernel with the following
|
|
incantation:
|
|
|
|
sim -f arch/openrisc/or1ksim.cfg vmlinux
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Terminology
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
In the code, the following particles are used on symbols to limit the scope
|
|
to more or less specific processor implementations:
|
|
|
|
openrisc: the OpenRISC class of processors
|
|
or1k: the OpenRISC 1000 family of processors
|
|
or1200: the OpenRISC 1200 processor
|
|
