Spike Simulator Platform
The Spike is a RISC-V ISA simulator which implements a functional model of one or more RISC-V harts. The Spike compatible virtual platform is also available on QEMU. In fact, we can use same OpenSBI firmware binaries on Spike simulator and QEMU Spike machine.
For more details, refer Spike on GitHub
To build the platform-specific library and firmware images, provide the
PLATFORM=spike parameter to the top level make command.
Platform Options
The Spike platform does not have any platform-specific options.
Execution on Spike Simulator
No Payload Case
Build:
make PLATFORM=spike
Run:
spike build/platform/spike/firmware/fw_payload.elf
Linux Kernel Payload
Note: We assume that the Linux kernel is compiled using arch/riscv/configs/defconfig.
Build:
make PLATFORM=spike FW_PAYLOAD_PATH=<linux_build_directory>/arch/riscv/boot/Image
Run:
spike --initrd <path_to_cpio_ramdisk> build/platform/spike/firmware/fw_payload.elf
Execution on QEMU RISC-V 64-bit
No Payload Case
Build:
make PLATFORM=spike
Run:
qemu-system-riscv64 -M spike -m 256M -nographic \
-kernel build/platform/spike/firmware/fw_payload.elf
Linux Kernel Payload
Note: We assume that the Linux kernel is compiled using arch/riscv/configs/defconfig.
