My progress on real RISC-V hardware

pengphei · November 9, 2022, 5:23am

With latest Haiku recent code, I can boot Haiku on MangoPi Pro (Allwinner Nezha d1 chip based).

link site: 芒果派 ( Mango Pi ), 小巧优雅的单板电脑 | mqpro

build mainline u-boot according to Allwinner Nezha - linux-sunxi.org
compiling the recent riscv64 haiku mmc image:
1. with patch from : https://review.haiku-os.org/c/haiku/+/3880/1/src/system/boot/platform/efi/debug.cpp
2. enable console dts for “snps,dw-apb-uart”:
```
#if defined(__riscv)
{ "sifive,uart0", UART_KIND_SIFIVE, &get_uart<ArchUARTSifive> },
{ "snps,dw-apb-uart", UART_KIND_8250, &get_uart<DebugUART8250> },
#elif defined(__ARM__)
```
burn the mmc image to sdcard:

dd if=./haiku-mmc.image of=/dev/mmcblk0 conv=sync
dd if=../../nezha/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=8

Now I can reach:

I probably can fix boot if I get hardware (I live in Japan).

pengphei · November 9, 2022, 11:24am

you can send me an address(pengphei@foxmail.com), I can buy one for you from taobao.com.

Looks like Intel and sifive are working together for a new powerfull board with four P550 cores and a PCI-e slot:

X512 · November 13, 2022, 4:09am

I ordered MongoPi 1GB version at Aliexpress.

X512 · November 25, 2022, 11:51am

MangoPi delivered.

andreas_dr · November 25, 2022, 12:13pm

Sweet. Whats diz?

SamuraiCrow · November 25, 2022, 3:40pm

Armbian is a Linux distro for limited hardware. Haiku’s kernel is slimmer though.

nephele · November 25, 2022, 3:44pm

slimmer? Linux can run in variety of ressource constrained enviroments that Haiku can’t. not sure how it is slimmer as such

SamuraiCrow · November 25, 2022, 3:50pm

It’s dependency hell with Linux, or so I’ve heard. YMMV.

syd · December 15, 2022, 12:59am

A version of the ROMA RISC-V laptop SBC can be bought separately in 2023. It’s designed as a SO-DIMM module - so you can stack them like RAM into a clusterboard. Much cheaper than the laptop too, from $85-145 each.

danboid · December 25, 2022, 2:55am

Any news on Haiku booting on the MangoPi?

X512 · December 25, 2022, 3:24am

Managed to start kernel and currently have troubles with virtual memory handling in kernel (virtual memory mapped by kernel triggers page fault).

danboid · December 25, 2022, 3:39am

Thanks for the update X512!

It’s a shame its only got (up to) 1GB RAM, I would imagine the web browsers and other demanding apps aren’t going to be much fun to use with so little RAM, if they run at all. Have you ordered the VisionFive 2 as well? That sounds more promising.

X512 · December 25, 2022, 3:42am

Not yet but I plan to. Amazon show that sells will start at February 14.

SCollins · December 25, 2022, 1:33pm

you’ve heard correctly, or configuration hell

danboid · December 27, 2022, 2:59pm

Hopefully the work you are doing to get it to boot on the MangoPi will help towards getting it ported to the VisionFive.

Sounds like RISCV might be no better than ARM for code portability then? Do the boot processes of the MangoPi and the RV board you had already have much in common?

danboid · January 8, 2023, 8:51pm

Explaining Computers early review of the VisionFive 2.

Unfortunately Chris was unable to get the NVME working on his pre-production board, which also has a 100 Mb NIC instead of 2x gigE and on top of that the eMMC and USB 3 speeds are pretty poor currently.

The good news is that Imagination promise an open source driver for the GPU used on this, the BXE-4-32. I’m not aware of an ARM GPU manufacturer having produced any 3D capable open source drivers so that would be big news if/when that starts working. All the ARM GPU drivers have been RE’d by third parties.

cb88 · January 9, 2023, 5:22pm

It’s very encouraging that imagination is finally getting with the open source GPU program… I guess they were feeling the heat from radeon / Mali and adreno.
