StarFiveTech Freedom Unleashed SDK

This builds a complete RISC-V cross-compile toolchain for the StarFiveTech Freedom JH7100 SoC. It also builds U-boot and a flattened image tree (FIT) image with a Opensbi binary, linux kernel, device tree, ramdisk and rootdisk for the Starlight development board.

Tested Configurations

Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 x86_64 host

  • Status: Working
  • Build dependencies: build-essential git autotools texinfo bison flex libgmp-dev libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev gawk libz-dev libssl-dev
  • Additional build deps for QEMU: libglib2.0-dev libpixman-1-dev
  • Additional build deps for Spike: device-tree-compiler
  • tools require for ‘format-boot-loader’ target: mtools

Build Instructions

Checkout this repository and checkout to vic_starlight branch. Then you will need to checkout all of the linked submodules using:

git submodule update --recursive --init

This will take some time and require around 7GB of disk space. Some modules may fail because certain dependencies don’t have the best git hosting. The only solution is to wait and try again later (or ask someone for a copy of that source repository).

Once the submodules are initialized, 4 modules buildroot, HiFive_U-Boot, linux and opensbi will checkout to vic_starlight branch. After update submodules, run make or make -jx and the complete toolchain and fw_payload.bin.out & image.fit will be built. The completed build tree will consume about 14G of disk space.
