Machine privilege level was specially designed to use in vendor's firmware or bootloader. We have implemented operation in machine mode in FreeBSD as part of understanding RISC-V ISA, but it is time to remove it. We now use BBL (Berkeley Boot Loader) -- standard RISC-V firmware, which provides operation in machine mode for us. We now use standard SBI calls to machine mode, instead of handmade 'syscalls'. o Remove HTIF bus. HTIF bus is now legacy and no longer exists in RISC-V specification. HTIF code still exists in Spike simulator, but BBL do not provide raw interface to it. Memory disk is only choice for now to have multiuser booted in Spike, until Spike has implemented more devices (e.g. Virtio, etc). Sponsored by: DARPA, AFRL Sponsored by: HEIF5 |
