# Platonic RISC-V Device
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Platonic is an ideal system useful for developing an operating system. It does not represent any sort of real hardware, though differences between platforms is minimal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For emulation, you will need to install Renode (use the [nightly](https://dl.antmicro.com/projects/renode/builds/) to get `SPI.NORFlash` peripheral support). Then, run `renode` on `xous-release.resc`. For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
renode emulation/xous-resc.repl
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Editing Renode Peripherals
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Renode supports adding peripherals written in C#. For example, many Betrusted peripherals have models created under the `peripherals/` directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since there is no external compiler, it can be difficult to know if your code is correct. In fact, if you're unfamiliar with C# or the Renode codebase, editing unfamiliar C# code can be a slow exercise in frustration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fortunately, Visual Studio Code is free and has excellent C# tooling. All you need to do is point it at your Renode installation, load the C# plugin, and open a `.cs` file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Copy `peripherals.csproj.template` to `peripherals.csproj`
|
||
|
|
2. Open `peripherals.csproj` and point `<RenodePath>` to your Renode installation directory. On ubuntu, this may be `/opt/renode/bin/`.
|
||
|
|
3. Install [C# for VSCode](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dotnettools.csharp)
|
||
|
|
4. You can refer to [core Renode peripherals](https://github.com/renode/renode-infrastructure/tree/master/src/Emulator/Peripherals/Peripherals) as examples of what C# code looks like.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Debugging with GDB
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When running Renode, you can attach a GDB instance. It runs on port 3333. Simply run `tar ext :3333` in gdb to attach.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
||
|
|
if [ -z "$1" ]
|
||
|
|
then
|
||
|
|
echo "eg: flash.sh application.bin"
|
||
|
|
exit
|
||
|
|
fi
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
set -x
|
||
|
|
export FIRMWARE_PATH=$(dirname "$1")
|
||
|
|
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=4 of=./flash.bin
|
||
|
|
dd if="$FIRMWARE_PATH/bootloader/bootloader.bin" bs=1 count=$(stat -c%s "$FIRMWARE_PATH/bootloader/bootloader.bin") seek=$((16#1000)) conv=notrunc of=./flash.bin
|
||
|
|
dd if="$FIRMWARE_PATH/partition_table/partition-table.bin" bs=1 count=$(stat -c%s "$FIRMWARE_PATH/partition_table/partition-table.bin") seek=$((16#8000)) conv=notrunc of=./flash.bin
|
||
|
|
dd if=$1 bs=1 count=$(stat -c%s "$1") seek=$((16#10000)) conv=notrunc of=./flash.bin
|
||
|
|
```
