mithroI wrote up some instructions for Linux on LiteX + Opsis board at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GfWKjrcfA27qbF8F9EtvRP5mzsaBjRzADfZTb5H8irw/edit#01:13

mithroshorne / shenki: I think we just want to add a "l.j 0x100" at pos 0x0 to remove the BIOS hack...04:16
mithroThe immediate value is shifted left two bits, sign-extended to program counter width, and then added to the address of the jump instruction.04:17
shenkimithro: that makes sense to me (the adding the jump)04:55
mithroshenki: I was thinking of following arch/nios2/kernel/head.S04:56
mithroActually04:56
mithroWe could just add it too arch/openrisc/kernel/head.S04:57
mithroc0000000 <_s_kernel_ro>:05:05
mithroc0000000:       00 00 00 40     l.j c0000100 <_s_kernel_ro+0x100>05:05
mithroc0000004:       15 00 00 00     l.nop 0x005:05
mithroshenki: That doesn't seem to work...05:05
mithroOh wait -- it looks like it might...05:11
mithroshenki: So it looks like the bios doesn't disable the litex-timer when booting....05:13
mithroshenki: I should just do a "make litex_defconfig" I don't need to set arch and stuff?05:25
mithroHrm05:27
mithroIt seems like I need "make CROSS_COMPILE=or1k-elf- ARCH=openrisc litex_defconfig"05:27

shenkiyou should look into ccontrol05:50

shenkiit sets up your environment based on the directory you're in05:51
mithroOh, ccontrol sounds super cool - very much exactly the type of thing I've been looking for05:51
shenkigood for when you're working for a company that makes powerpc processors, but working on arm, but actually working on openrisc :)05:51

shenkithat's the one05:51
mithroI was thinking of doing something in my prompt that looked at PWD and changed environment variables automatically...05:52
mithroLOL - "The Ccontrol Webring!"05:53
mithroshenki: LOL - mercurial :-P05:53
shenkiheh. yes. rusty was a big fan05:53

shenkimithro: nice. your whitespace looks wrong. i'll fix it when i merge06:26
mithroshenki: Works in QEMU - still trying to get it working on hardware06:26
shenkiok06:26
mithroshenki: It seems to work!07:14
mithroshenki: I'll try and get things merged later tonight, going to jimmo's for dinner07:32
shornemithro: I just replied to a mail about doing l.j 0x10007:54
shorneI see you found it doesn wotk through!07:54
shorneshenki: ccontrol sound cool to me too07:55
shorneoh... I see it looks like it does work07:56
mithroshorne: yeah, not sure what I was doing wrong intially07:57
mithroshorne: it looks like you might have always booted via loading via gdb?07:58
mithro(or JTAG?)07:59
mithroshorne: apparently they tried to deliver the FPGA boards on Sunday at 8:00pm?08:00

shenkimithro: what do you think of Olof's proposal?10:53
shenkimithro: about having all of our firmwares load to 0x100?10:53
*** shorne has quit IRC10:53
mithroThe reset vector for lm32 is at 0x0 I think...11:03
mithroAnd how would the decompress code work then?11:04
shorne_mithro: can the jump to bare metal app/kernel be different based on architecture?11:07
shorne_I would think it would have a different build between lm32 or or1k11:07
shorne_mithro: FYI, I got the boards11:07
mithroshorne_: Yes11:07
mithroshorne_: Awesome!11:07
shorne_yes, they are11:08
mithroThe crt0 files for our baremetal firmware is https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/tree/master/litex/soc/software/libbase11:08
tpbTitle: litex/litex/soc/software/libbase at master · enjoy-digital/litex · GitHub (at github.com)11:08
shorne_Now I need to finish some patch sets before I get started playing with the boards11:08
mithroshorne_: Distractions :-P11:09
mithroshorne_: Neither the MimasV2 nor the Arty are working yet11:09
mithroshorne_: The MimasV2 only has a LX9, so we need to play with the mor1kx configuration to figure out if it will fit11:11
mithroshorne_: The arty support just requires me to finish the merge at https://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB-litex-firmware/pull/31311:12

mithroshorne_: Hrm... I seem to recall having a patch somewhere which defined RESET location11:18
mithroIshan_Bansal: I reviewed your pull request again11:36
mithroIshan_Bansal: Sorry about the delay11:40
shenkimithro: i haven't looked at the decompres code. i asssume we can put that anywhere; it's not like it will fit in 256 byts anyway12:42
shorne_Is there anything that controls the offsets in the linker scripts?  like linker-sdram.ld?12:53
shorne_it looks like maybe everything just starts at 0x012:54

mithroIshan_Bansal: it is super awesome that you are still so active!19:48
Ishan_Bansalmithro : It's because I want to see the encoder working  and it needs a lot of work even now.  :)19:51
