4. CVA6 Hardware Deployment¶
4.1. Building Keystone¶
Building for the CVA6 is straight-forward. First, clone the Keystone repository in the manager instance.
git clone https://github.com/keystone-enclave/keystone
Follow Setup to setup the repository.
After you setup the repository, you can run the following commands to build Keystone.
- ::
- export BUILD_ROOT=<absolute path to build directory> mkdir <build directory> cd <build directory> cmake .. -Dcva6=y make make image
CMake with the flag -Dcva6=y will automatically generate Makefiles to build
CVA6-compatible Linux and SM. The build will forcibly use initramfs for a simpler deployment.
Once you have built the image, you will see sm.build/platform/generic/firmware/fw_payload.bin
under your build directory. This is the file that you want to reflash the SD card with.
You can also boot QEMU machine with the image using ./scripts/run-qemu.sh.
4.2. Setting up the CVA6¶
4.2.1. FPGA Emulation / Software Simulation¶
Keystone can either be simulated (https://github.com/openhwgroup/cva6#memory-preloading) or FPGA emulated (https://github.com/openhwgroup/cva6#corev-apu-fpga-emulation) on the Xilinx Genesys 2 board (https://digilent.com/reference/programmable-logic/genesys-2/reference-manual)
4.2.2. Load Linux Image¶
The CVA6 build process generates a fw_payload.bin in
<build directory>/sm.build/platform/generic/firmware/fw_payload.bin. Flash this to the Linux partition on the SD
card. (Note that this is a relocated version of the OpenSBI binary used for QEMU)
4.2.3. Example loading script¶
This is an example of a script to load the FSBL and OpenSBI into a card for use on the CVA6. Be careful as this will repartition the target disk!
You only need to reprogram the FSBL when modifying the first-stage bootloader itself. (Likely never)
The CVA6 image uses a simplified structure due to bootloader ROM integration on the device: :: code-block:: bash #!/bin/bash
set -e
# format disk sgdisk –clear –new=1:2048:67583 –new=2 –typecode=1:3000 –typecode=2:8300 /dev/sdc
# flash image dd if=sm.build/platform/generic/firmware/fw_payload.bin of=/dev/sdc1 status=progress oflag=sync bs=1M
4.3. Running on the CVA6¶
The needed driver, bins, etc are included in the buildroot image. You can always use buildroot overlay to add more files to the base image.
Generally, we also suggest scp ing the files to the board after boot.
4.3.1. Run binaries¶
Insert the Keystone driver, and run whatever test binaries you wish.
Example
insmod keystone-driver.ko
./tests.ke
