SiFive HiFive Unleashed
Instructions for cross-compiling and running wolfSSL on the HiFive Unleashed board.
Board SiFive HiFive Unleashed Board
SiFive Freedom U540 SoC at 1.5GHz
Getting started guide: https://sifive.cdn.prismic.io/sifive%2Ffa3a584a-a02f-4fda-b758-a2def05f49f9_hifive-unleashed-getting-started-guide-v1p1.pdf
Building Freedom-U-SDK
git clone https://github.com/sifive/freedom-u-sdk.git
cd freedom-u-sdk
git submodule update --recursive --init
make
See freedom-u-sdk/README.md file for instructions on updating the SD card U-Boot and Linux image.
Here is a summary of the steps:
Insert SD card from Unleashed into host and determine the assigned character sequence (X) for the media.
From freedom-u-sdk directory:
sudo make DISK=/dev/sdX format-boot-loader
# Copy U-Boot .fit image to first FAT partition (32MB)
sudo mkdir /media/hifiveu_boot
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdX1 /media/hifiveu_boot
cp ./work/image-<GITID>.fit /media/hifiveu_boot/hifiveu.fit
sudo umount /media/hifiveu_boot
# Copy Linux FS
sudo dd if=./work/hifive-unleashed-<ID>.gpt of=/dev/sdX2 bs=1M
Note: Make sure S1 Switch 5 (MSEL2) is OFF, rest ON (MSEL=1011) to boot from SD
