_Is Ox64 BL808 an SBC? Or an MCU Board?_
Technically Ox64 BL808 boots 64-bit RISC-V Linux (via MicroSD), so it feels like an SBC...

_Ox64 BL808 sounds a little tiny for 64-bit Linux?_
2023-10-29 12:57:46 +08:00
2023-10-30 11:11:05 +08:00
Yeah 64-bit Linux runs with Limited RAM on the D0 Multimedia Core. But most Peripherals are hosted on the M0 Wireless Core: WiFi, BLE, BT, Zigbee, Audio, ...
2023-10-29 12:57:46 +08:00
So we flash M0 with a simple 32-bit RISC-V Firmware, to forward the Peripheral Interrupts from M0 to D0 Linux.
2023-10-30 12:27:04 +08:00
Here are the binaries loaded into D0 Multimedia Core and M0 Wireless Core, from [buildroot_bouffalo ](https://github.com/openbouffalo/buildroot_bouffalo )...
2023-10-29 12:57:46 +08:00
2023-10-30 12:27:04 +08:00
* __d0_lowload_bl808_d0.bin__: This is a very basic bootloader that loads opensbi, the kernel and dts files into ram
2023-10-29 12:57:46 +08:00
2023-10-30 12:27:04 +08:00
* __m0_lowload_bl808_m0.bin__: This firmware runs on M0 and forwards interupts to the D0 for several peripherals
2023-10-29 12:57:46 +08:00
2023-10-31 14:46:43 +08:00
* __bl808-firmware.bin__: An image containing OpenSBI, Uboot and uboot dtb files.
2023-10-29 12:57:46 +08:00
2023-10-30 12:27:04 +08:00
* __sdcard-*.tar.xz__: A tarball containing the rootfs for the image to be flashed to the SD card
2023-10-29 12:57:46 +08:00
Perhaps Ox64 BL808 might run more efficiently with a tiny 64-bit RTOS.
_Why Apache NuttX RTOS?_
It might be interesting to run Apache NuttX RTOS on both the D0 Multimedia Core and the M0 Wireless Core. Then D0 and M0 can talk over OpenAMP (Asymmetric Multi-Processing).

# Flashing UART vs Serial Console

![Flashing UART vs Serial Console ](https://lupyuen.github.io/images/ox64-pinout.jpg )
2023-10-30 23:11:19 +08:00
_We need to handle TWO UART Ports on Ox64?_
2023-10-31 09:41:34 +08:00
Yeah don't confuse the 2 UART Ports on Ox64! Let's give the UART Ports distinctive names [(like Migi & Dali) ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migi_%26_Dali )...
2023-10-30 23:11:19 +08:00
1. __Ox64 Flashing UART__ : Used for Flashing Ox64
2023-10-31 14:15:24 +08:00
+ Flashing UART TX is __GPIO 14__ (Physical Pin 1)
+ Flashing UART RX is __GPIO 15__ (Physical Pin 2)
2023-10-30 23:11:19 +08:00
+ Remember to connect GND
2023-10-31 07:12:04 +08:00
+ Baud Rate for Normal Mode: 2,000,000 (2 Mbps)
+ Baud Rate for Flashing Mode: 230,400 (230.4 kbps)
2023-10-31 09:41:34 +08:00
+ BL808 UART0 is controlled by the M0 Wireless Core (OpenBouffalo Firmware)
2023-10-30 23:11:19 +08:00
1. __Ox64 Serial Console__ : Used for Linux Serial Console (plus OpenSBI and U-Boot Bootloader)
2023-10-31 14:15:24 +08:00
+ Serial Console TX is __GPIO 16__ (Physical Pin 32)
+ Serial Console RX is __GPIO 17__ (Physical Pin 31)
2023-10-30 23:11:19 +08:00
+ Remember to connect GND
2023-10-31 07:12:04 +08:00
+ Baud Rate: 2,000,000 (2 Mbps)
2023-10-31 09:41:34 +08:00
+ BL808 UART3 is controlled by the D0 Multimedia Core (Linux + OpenSBI + U-Boot)
+ Output is totally blank if OpenBouffalo Firmware [wasn't flashed correctly ](https://github.com/openbouffalo/buildroot_bouffalo/issues/60 ), or if OpenSBI / U-Boot / Linux couldn't boot
2023-10-31 07:12:04 +08:00
2023-10-31 09:14:04 +08:00
NEITHER UART Port is accessible over USB-C or Micro USB. So yeah it's totally counterintuitive.
2023-10-31 09:29:21 +08:00
(Maybe someone can create a Stackable HAT or Breadboard, that will expose the 2 UART Ports as USB Dongles? Or a UART Switcher?)
2023-10-31 09:23:53 +08:00
2023-10-31 14:15:24 +08:00
[(__For Pre-Production Ox64:__ Physical Pins are different, but GPIOs above are correct) ](https://lupyuen.github.io/images/ox64-sd.jpg )
2023-10-31 07:12:04 +08:00
_Why 2 Baud Rates for Flashing UART?_
2023-10-31 07:28:31 +08:00
When we power up Ox64 in __Normal Mode__ : (Boot Button NOT pressed)
2023-10-31 09:14:04 +08:00
- Flashing UART Port will show us the OpenBouffalo Firmware running on M0 Wireless Core
2023-10-31 07:28:31 +08:00
- This M0 Firmware will forward Peripheral Interrupts to D0 Multimedia Core
- M0 Firmware is hardcoded for 2 Mbps
2023-10-31 07:59:44 +08:00
- Not really fun to watch. But we use this for testing our 2 Mbps USB Serial Adapter.
2023-10-31 07:28:31 +08:00
When we power up Ox64 in __Flashing Mode__ : (Boot Button pressed)
2023-10-31 09:14:04 +08:00
- Ox64 is ready for Firmware Flashing by the BL DevCube GUI Tool
2023-10-31 07:28:31 +08:00
- Firmware Flashing supports various Baud Rates: 230.4 kbps, 2 Mbps, ...
- But 2 Mbps will fail on macOS. That's why we Flash Firmware at 230.4 kbps.
[(Same problem when flashing BL602) ](https://lupyuen.github.io/articles/flash#flash-the-firmware )
_Serial Console is always 2 Mbps?_
Yeah 2 Mbps is hardcoded in Ox64 Linux. Switching to other Baud Rates will show garbled text.
2023-10-30 23:11:19 +08:00
2023-10-31 09:14:04 +08:00
Thus our USB Serial Adapter must connect reliably to Ox64 at 2 Mbps.
2023-10-30 23:11:19 +08:00
Now we flash Ox64 and boot Linux...

# Flash OpenSBI and U-Boot Bootloader to Ox64 BL808

- ["Ox64 BL808 RISC-V SBC: Booting Linux and (maybe) Apache NuttX RTOS" ](https://lupyuen.github.io/articles/ox64 )
2023-10-30 12:27:04 +08:00
Before booting Linux on Ox64, we flash OpenSBI + U-Boot Bootloader to D0 Multimedia Core, and the Peripheral Interrupt Firmware to M0 Wireless Core. From [buildroot_bouffalo ](https://github.com/openbouffalo/buildroot_bouffalo ):
2023-10-30 10:57:57 +08:00
2023-10-30 12:27:04 +08:00
* __d0_lowload_bl808_d0.bin__: This is a very basic bootloader that loads opensbi, the kernel and dts files into ram
* __m0_lowload_bl808_m0.bin__: This firmware runs on M0 and forwards interupts to the D0 for several peripherals
2023-10-31 14:46:43 +08:00
* __bl808-firmware.bin__: An image containing OpenSBI, Uboot and uboot dtb files.
2023-10-30 12:27:04 +08:00
Here are the steps, based on the [Official Flashing Instructions ](https://github.com/openbouffalo/buildroot_bouffalo#flashing-instructions )...
2023-10-30 19:21:47 +08:00
1. We tested with [Pine64 Woodpecker CH340G USB Serial Adapter ](https://pine64.com/product/serial-console-woodpecker-edition/ ) on macOS x64.
Warning: Some USB Serial Adapters [WON'T WORK! ](https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Ox64#Compatible_UARTs_when_in_bootloader_mode )
Probably because we are connecting at 2 Mbps, which might be too fast for some USB Serial Adapters.
[(Like this CP2102, which shows garbled text at 2 Mbps) ](https://www.lazada.sg/products/i2037772272-s11135131253.html )

![Flashing UART ](https://lupyuen.github.io/images/ox64-pinout2.jpg )
1. To Test our USB Serial Adapter: Connect the USB Serial Adapter to __Ox64 Flashing UART__ (pic above)...
2023-10-31 14:15:24 +08:00
+ Flashing UART TX is __GPIO 14__ (Physical Pin 1)
+ Flashing UART RX is __GPIO 15__ (Physical Pin 2)
2023-10-30 18:22:44 +08:00
+ Remember to connect GND

Header Values are exactly the same as Star64. (Except the Image Size and Executable Code, since the Jump Address is different)
2023-10-28 17:36:02 +08:00
2023-10-28 17:40:12 +08:00
Thus we simply reuse the code from NuttX Star64!

We're hoping that NuttX would crash and OpenSBI could print a meaningful Stack Trace. But nope! NuttX was probably stuck in a loop waiting for Star64 UART.
2023-11-04 08:52:32 +08:00
Let's print to the Ox64 Serial Console in the NuttX Boot Code (in RISC-V Assembly)...
# Print to Ox64 Serial Console in NuttX Boot Code

2023-11-04 10:08:35 +08:00
_How to print to the Ox64 Serial Console in the NuttX Boot Code? (RISC-V Assembly)_
When we compare the BL808 and BL602 Reference Manuals, we discover that BL808 UART works the same way as BL602.
This is how the BL602 UART Driver prints to the Serial Console: [bl602_serial.c ](https://github.com/apache/nuttx/blob/master/arch/risc-v/src/bl602/bl602_serial.c#L704-L725 )
```c
#define BL602_UART_FIFO_WDATA_OFFSET 0x000088 /* uart_fifo_wdata */
#define BL602_UART_FIFO_WDATA(n) (BL602_UART_BASE(n) + BL602_UART_FIFO_WDATA_OFFSET)
static void bl602_send(struct uart_dev_s *dev, int ch) {
...
// Wait for FIFO to be empty
while ((getreg32(BL602_UART_FIFO_CONFIG_1(uart_idx)) & \
2023-11-04 14:23:43 +08:00
UART_FIFO_CONFIG_1_TX_CNT_MASK) == 0);
2023-11-04 10:08:35 +08:00
// Write output to FIFO
putreg32(ch, BL602_UART_FIFO_WDATA(uart_idx));
}
```
So for BL808, we simply write the character to...
- UART3 Base Address: 0x30002000 (from the Linux Device Tree earlier)
- Offset: 0x88
2023-11-04 14:23:43 +08:00
[Based on Star64 Debug Code ](https://lupyuen.github.io/articles/nuttx2#print-to-qemu-console ), we code this in RISC-V Assembly...
2023-11-04 10:08:35 +08:00
```text
/* Load UART3 Base Address to Register t0 */
li t0, 0x30002000
/* Load `1` to Register t1 */
li t1, 0x31
/* Store byte from Register t1 to UART3 Base Address, Offset 0x88 */
sb t1, 0x88(t0)
/* Load `2` to Register t1 */
li t1, 0x32
/* Store byte from Register t1 to UART3 Base Address, Offset 0x88 */
sb t1, 0x88(t0)
/* Load `3` to Register t1 */
li t1, 0x33
/* Store byte from Register t1 to UART3 Base Address, Offset 0x88 */
sb t1, 0x88(t0)
```
We insert the above code into the NuttX Boot Code: [jh7110_head.S ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64/arch/risc-v/src/jh7110/jh7110_head.S#L69-L87 )
2023-11-04 14:22:57 +08:00

OpenSBI boots on Ox64 with Hart ID 0 (instead of 1), so we remove this code...
```text
/* We assume that OpenSBI has passed Hart ID (value 1) in Register a0.

2023-11-05 14:26:11 +08:00
Ox64 is still running on the JH7110 UART Driver (16550). Let's make a quick patch so that we will see something on the Ox64 Serial Console...
We hardcode the UART3 Base Address (from above) and FIFO Offset for now: [uart_16550.c ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64/drivers/serial/uart_16550.c#L1698-L1716 )
```c
// Write one character to the UART (polled)
static void u16550_putc(FAR struct u16550_s *priv, int ch) {
// Hardcode the UART3 Base Address and FIFO Offset
*(volatile uint8_t * ) 0x30002088 = ch; ////
// Previously:
// while ((u16550_serialin(priv, UART_LSR_OFFSET) & UART_LSR_THRE) == 0);
// u16550_serialout(priv, UART_THR_OFFSET, (uart_datawidth_t)ch);
}
```
(Yeah the UART Buffer might overflow, we'll fix later)
2023-11-05 14:26:52 +08:00
We skip the reading and writing of other UART Registers, because we'll patch them later: [uart_16550.c ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64/drivers/serial/uart_16550.c#L604-L632 )
2023-11-05 14:26:11 +08:00
```c
// Read UART Register
static inline uart_datawidth_t u16550_serialin(FAR struct u16550_s *priv, int offset) {
return 0; ////
// Commented out the rest
}
// Write UART Register
static inline void u16550_serialout(FAR struct u16550_s *priv, int offset, uart_datawidth_t value) {
// Commented out the rest
}
```
2023-11-05 14:26:52 +08:00
And we won't wait for UART Ready, since we're not accessing the Line Control Register: [uart_16550.c ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64/drivers/serial/uart_16550.c#L633-L670 )
2023-11-05 14:26:11 +08:00
```c
// Wait until UART is not busy. This is needed before writing to Line Control Register.
// Otherwise we will get spurious interrupts on Synopsys DesignWare 8250.
static int u16550_wait(FAR struct u16550_s *priv) {
// Nopez! No waiting for now
return OK; ////
}
```
Now NuttX prints our very first Stack Dump on Ox64 yay!

The PLIC Base Address is different for BL808, let's change it.
_What's the PLIC Base Address in Ox64 BL808?_
PLIC Base Address is 0xe0000000, according to the Linux Device Tree: [bl808-pine64-ox64.dts ](https://github.com/lupyuen/nuttx-ox64/blob/main/bl808-pine64-ox64.dts#L129-L138 )

_But it's a RISC-V Exception! Shouldn't NuttX dump this as a proper exception?_
See the `riscv_exception_attach()` above? It happens AFTER the crash! This means NuttX hasn't properly initialised the Exception Handlers, when the crash happened.
2023-11-06 15:54:25 +08:00
2023-11-07 14:22:36 +08:00

2023-11-06 18:41:09 +08:00
`riscv_exception_attach()` will handle all RISC-V Exceptions, including Store/AMO Page Fault (IRQ 15): [riscv_exception.c ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64/arch/risc-v/src/common/riscv_exception.c#L89-L142 )

# NuttX UART Driver for Ox64 BL808
2023-11-11 12:36:03 +08:00
BL808 UART is mostly identical to BL602 UART, so we ported the NuttX BL602 UART Driver to BL808.
2023-11-11 10:17:47 +08:00
2023-11-11 12:36:03 +08:00
Here's the UART Driver ported to BL808: [bl602_serial.c] (https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64a/arch/risc-v/src/jh7110/bl602_serial.c)
2023-11-11 10:17:47 +08:00
2023-11-11 12:36:03 +08:00
We hardcoded the UART3 Base Address: [bl602_uart.h ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64a/arch/risc-v/src/jh7110/hardware/bl602_uart.h#L30-L41 )
2023-11-11 10:25:59 +08:00
```c
#define BL602_UART0_BASE 0x30002000
#define BL602_UART_BASE(n) (BL602_UART0_BASE)
// Previously: #define BL602_UART_BASE(n) (BL602_UART0_BASE + (n * (BL602_UART1_BASE - BL602_UART0_BASE)))
```
2023-11-11 12:36:03 +08:00
We fixed the NuttX Start Code to call our new UART Driver: [jh7110_start.c ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64a/arch/risc-v/src/jh7110/jh7110_start.c#L175-L184 )
2023-11-11 10:25:59 +08:00
```c
2023-11-11 12:36:03 +08:00
void riscv_earlyserialinit(void) {
2023-11-11 10:25:59 +08:00
bl602_earlyserialinit();
}
2023-11-11 12:36:03 +08:00
void riscv_serialinit(void) {
2023-11-11 10:25:59 +08:00
bl602_serialinit();
}
```
2023-11-11 12:36:03 +08:00
We disabled UART Interrupts for now: [bl602_attach and bl602_detach ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64a/arch/risc-v/src/jh7110/bl602_serial.c#L377-L431 )
2023-11-11 10:25:59 +08:00
2023-11-11 12:36:03 +08:00
And the UART Driver works! [(See the log) ](https://gist.github.com/lupyuen/74a44a3e432e159c62cc2df6a726cb89 )

# Initial RAM Disk for Ox64 BL808
2023-11-11 10:46:10 +08:00
Two ways we can load the Initial RAM Disk...
1. Load the Initial RAM Disk from a __Separate File: initrd__ (similar to Star64)
This means we need to modify the [__U-Boot Script: boot-pine64.scr__ ](https://github.com/openbouffalo/buildroot_bouffalo/blob/main/board/pine64/ox64/boot-pine64.cmd )
And make it [__load the initrd__ ](https://lupyuen.github.io/articles/semihost#appendix-boot-nuttx-over-tftp-with-initial-ram-disk ) file into RAM.
(Which is good for separating the NuttX Kernel and NuttX Apps)
OR...
1. Append the Initial RAM Disk to the __NuttX Kernel Image__
So the U-Boot Bootloader will load (one-shot into RAM) the NuttX Kernel + Initial RAM Disk.
And we reuse the existing __U-Boot Config__ on the microSD Card: [__extlinux/extlinux.conf__ ](https://github.com/openbouffalo/buildroot_bouffalo/blob/main/board/pine64/ox64/rootfs-overlay/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf )
(Which might be more efficient for our Limited RAM)
2023-11-11 13:08:06 +08:00
[(See the __U-Boot Boot Flow__) ](https://github.com/openbouffalo/buildroot_bouffalo/wiki/U-Boot-Bootflow )
2023-11-11 10:46:10 +08:00
__TODO:__ Can we mount the File System directly from the __NuttX Kernel Image in RAM__ ? Without copying to the [__RAM Disk Memory Region__ ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64/boards/risc-v/jh7110/star64/scripts/ld.script#L26 )?
2023-11-11 13:08:06 +08:00
We'll do the Second Method, since we are low on RAM. Like this...
2023-11-11 10:46:10 +08:00
2023-11-11 10:17:47 +08:00
```bash
## Export the Binary Image to `nuttx.bin`
riscv64-unknown-elf-objcopy \
-O binary \
nuttx \
nuttx.bin
2023-11-12 08:29:35 +08:00
## Insert 64 KB of zeroes after Binary Image for Kernel Stack
head -c 65536 /dev/zero >/tmp/nuttx.zero
2023-11-11 10:17:47 +08:00
## Append Initial RAM Disk to Binary Image
cat nuttx.bin /tmp/nuttx.zero initrd \
>Image
2023-11-11 10:46:10 +08:00
## Overwrite the Linux Image on Ox64 microSD
cp Image "/Volumes/NO NAME/"
2023-11-11 10:17:47 +08:00
```
2023-11-11 13:08:06 +08:00
This is how we copy the initrd in RAM to the Memory Region for the RAM Disk: [jh7110_start.c ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64a/arch/risc-v/src/jh7110/jh7110_start.c#L190-L245 )

```
2023-11-11 13:08:06 +08:00
We copy the initrd at the very top of our NuttX Start Code, before erasing the BSS (in case it corrupts our RAM Disk, but actually it shouldn't): [jh7110_start.c ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64a/arch/risc-v/src/jh7110/jh7110_start.c#L144-L156 )
2023-11-11 10:31:14 +08:00
```c
2023-11-11 13:08:06 +08:00
// NuttX Start Code
void jh7110_start(int mhartid) {
DEBUGASSERT(mhartid == 0); /* Only Hart 0 supported for now */
if (0 == mhartid) {
/* Copy the RAM Disk */
jh7110_copy_ramdisk();
/* Clear the BSS */
jh7110_clear_bss();
```
2023-11-11 10:31:14 +08:00
2023-11-11 13:08:06 +08:00
NuttX mounts the RAM Disk from the Memory Region later during startup: [jh7110_appinit.c ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64a/boards/risc-v/jh7110/star64/src/jh7110_appinit.c#L51-L87 )
```c
// After NuttX has booted...
void board_late_initialize(void) {
// Mount the RAM Disk
mount_ramdisk();
2023-11-11 10:31:14 +08:00
}
2023-11-11 13:08:06 +08:00
// Mount the RAM Disk
int mount_ramdisk(void) {
desc.minor = RAMDISK_DEVICE_MINOR;
desc.nsectors = NSECTORS((ssize_t)__ramdisk_size);
desc.sectsize = SECTORSIZE;
desc.image = __ramdisk_start;
ret = boardctl(BOARDIOC_ROMDISK, (uintptr_t)&desc);
```
And NuttX mounts our RAM Disk successfully!

_Why did we insert 64 KB of zeroes after the NuttX Binary Image, before the initrd Initial RAM Disk?_
2023-11-11 13:08:06 +08:00
```bash
2023-11-12 08:29:35 +08:00
## Insert 64 KB of zeroes after Binary Image for Kernel Stack
head -c 65536 /dev/zero >/tmp/nuttx.zero
2023-11-11 13:08:06 +08:00
## Append Initial RAM Disk to Binary Image
cat nuttx.bin /tmp/nuttx.zero initrd \
>Image
```
When we refer to the [NuttX Log ](https://gist.github.com/lupyuen/74a44a3e432e159c62cc2df6a726cb89 ) and the [NuttX Linker Script ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64a/boards/risc-v/jh7110/star64/scripts/ld.script )...
```text
// End of Data Section
_edata=0x50400258
// Start of BSS Section
_sbss=0x50400290
// End of BSS Section
_ebss=0x50407000
// Top of Idle Stack
JH7110_IDLESTACK_TOP=0x50407c00
// We located the initd after the Top of Idle Stack
ramdisk_addr=0x50408288, size=8192016
// And we copied initrd to the Memory Region for the RAM Disk
__ramdisk_start=0x50a00000
```
Which says...
1. The NuttX Binary Image `nuttx.bin` terminates at `_edata` . (End of Data Section)
2023-11-11 13:39:09 +08:00
1. If we append `initrd` directly to the end of `nuttx.bin` , it will collide with the [BSS Section ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64a/arch/risc-v/src/jh7110/jh7110_start.c#L74-L92 ) and the [Idle Stack ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64a/arch/risc-v/src/jh7110/jh7110_head.S#L94-L101 ). And `initrd` will get overwritten by NuttX.
2023-11-11 13:08:06 +08:00
1. Best place to append `initrd` is after the Top of Idle Stack. Which is located 32 KB after `_edata` . (End of Data Section)
2023-11-12 08:29:35 +08:00
1. That's why we inserted a padding of 64 KB between `nuttx.bin` and `initrd` . So it won't collide with BSS and Idle Stack.
2023-11-11 13:08:06 +08:00
1. Our code locates `initrd` (searching by Magic Number "-rom1fs-"). And copies `initrd` to `__ramdisk_start` . (Memory Region for the RAM Disk)
1. NuttX mounts the RAM Disk from `__ramdisk_start` . (Memory Region for the RAM Disk)
2023-11-12 08:29:35 +08:00
_But 64 KB sounds so arbitrary. What if the parameters change?_
2023-11-11 13:44:09 +08:00
That's why we have a Runtime Check: [jh7110_start.c ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64a/arch/risc-v/src/jh7110/jh7110_start.c#L190-L245 )
```c
// RAM Disk must be after Idle Stack
if (ramdisk_addr < = (uint8_t *)JH7110_IDLESTACK_TOP) { _info("RAM Disk must be after Idle Stack"); }
DEBUGASSERT(ramdisk_addr > (uint8_t *)JH7110_IDLESTACK_TOP);
```
2023-11-11 13:08:06 +08:00
_Why did we call local_memmove to copy `initrd` to `__ramdisk_start` ? Why not memcpy?_
That's because `initrd` overlaps with `__ramdisk_start` !
```
ramdisk_addr = 0x50408288, size = 8192016
ramdisk_addr + size = 0x50bd8298
Which is AFTER __ramdisk_start (0x50a00000)
```
`memcpy` won't work with Overlapping Memory Regions. So we wrote our own: [jh7110_start.c ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64a/arch/risc-v/src/jh7110/jh7110_start.c#L246-L487 )
```c
2023-11-11 10:31:14 +08:00
// From libs/libc/string/lib_memmove.c
static FAR void *local_memmove(FAR void *dest, FAR const void *src, size_t count) {
FAR char *d;
FAR char *s;
DEBUGASSERT(dest > src);
d = (FAR char *) dest + count;
s = (FAR char *) src + count;
while (count--) {
d -= 1;
s -= 1;
// TODO: Very strange. This needs to be volatile or C Compiler will replace this by memcpy.
volatile char c = *s;
*d = c;
}
return dest;
}
```
2023-11-11 13:24:09 +08:00
_We're sure that it works?_
2023-11-11 13:08:06 +08:00
2023-11-11 13:24:09 +08:00
That's why we called `verify_image` to do a simple integrity check on `initrd` , before and after copying. And that's how we discovered that `memcpy` doesn't work. From [jh7110_start.c ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64a/arch/risc-v/src/jh7110/jh7110_start.c#L246-L487 )
2023-11-11 13:08:06 +08:00
```c
2023-11-11 13:24:09 +08:00
// Verify that image is correct
static void verify_image(uint8_t *addr) {
// Verify that the Byte Positions below (offset by 1) contain 0x0A
for (int i = 0; i < sizeof ( search_addr ) / sizeof ( search_addr [ 0 ] ) ; i + + ) {
const uint8_t *p = addr + search_addr[i] - 1;
if (*p != 0x0A) { _info("No Match: %p\n", p); }
}
}
// Byte Positions (offset by 1) of 0x0A in initrd. Extracted from:

[(Source) ](https://gist.github.com/lupyuen/74a44a3e432e159c62cc2df6a726cb89 )
Maybe because NuttX is trying to map the User Address Space 0xC000 0000: [nsh/defconfig ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64a/boards/risc-v/jh7110/star64/configs/nsh/defconfig#L17-L26 )

```
But our Kernel Memory Space already extends to 0xF000 0000? (Because of the PLIC at 0xE000 0000)
From [jh7110_mm_init.c ](https://github.com/lupyuen2/wip-pinephone-nuttx/blob/ox64a/arch/risc-v/src/jh7110/jh7110_mm_init.c#L43-L46 ):

# Fix the NuttX Memory Map for PLIC
2023-11-11 20:38:00 +08:00
_Can we add L1 for 0xE000 0000 to access PLIC?_
[Nope it fails ](https://gist.github.com/lupyuen/73906723edf5f1611c7829779b18668a ). Because 0xE000 0000 is not aligned to 0x4000 0000 for L1.
But when we add L1 for 0xC000 0000, it works!
```c
// Map PLIC
mmu_ln_map_region(1, PGT_L1_VBASE, 0xC0000000, 0xC0000000,
0x40000000, MMU_IO_FLAGS);
```
But NuttX Apps need to access 0xC000 0000. So NuttX Apps will fail...

TODO: [G Bit ](https://five-embeddev.com/riscv-isa-manual/latest/supervisor.html#sec:translation )
> "The G bit designates a global mapping. Global mappings are those that exist in all address spaces. For non-leaf PTEs, the global setting implies that all mappings in the subsequent levels of the page table are global. Note that failing to mark a global mapping as global merely reduces performance, whereas marking a non-global mapping as global is a software bug that, after switching to an address space with a different non-global mapping for that address range, can unpredictably result in either mapping being used."
