RISC-V Open Source Supervisor Binary Interface (OpenSBI)
========================================================

The **RISC-V Supervisor Binary Interface (SBI)** is the recommended interface
between:

1. A platform-specific firmware running in M-mode and a bootloader, a
   hypervisor or a general-purpose OS executing in S-mode or HS-mode.
2. A hypervisor running in HS-mode and a bootloader or a general-purpose OS
   executing in VS-mode.

The *RISC-V SBI specification* is maintained as an independent project by the
RISC-V Foundation on [Github] (https://github.com/riscv/riscv-sbi-doc).

The goal of the OpenSBI project is to provide an open-source reference
implementation of the RISC-V SBI specifications for platform-specific firmwares
executing in M-mode (case 1 mentioned above). An OpenSBI implementation can be
easily extended by RISC-V platform and system-on-chip vendors to fit a
particular hardware configuration.

The main component of OpenSBI is provided in the form of a platform-independent
static library **libsbi.a** implementing the SBI interface. A firmware or
bootloader implementation can link against this library to ensure conformance
with the SBI interface specifications. *libsbi.a* also defines an interface for
integrating with platform-specific operations provided by the platform firmware
implementation (e.g. console access functions, inter-processor interrupt
control, etc).

To illustrate the use of the *libsbi.a* library, OpenSBI also provides a set of
platform-specific support examples. For each example, a platform-specific
static library *libplatsbi.a* can be compiled. This library implements
SBI call processing by integrating *libsbi.a* with the necessary
platform-dependent hardware manipulation functions. For all supported platforms,
OpenSBI also provides several runtime firmware examples built using the platform
*libplatsbi.a*. These example firmwares can be used to replace the legacy
*riscv-pk* bootloader (aka BBL) and enable the use of well-known bootloaders
such as [U-Boot] (https://git.denx.de/u-boot.git).

Required Toolchain
------------------

OpenSBI can be compiled natively or cross-compiled on a x86 host. For
cross-compilation, you can build your own toolchain or just download
a prebuilt one from the
[Bootlin toolchain repository] (https://toolchains.bootlin.com/).

Please note that only a 64-bit version of the toolchain is available in
the Bootlin toolchain repository for now.

Building and Installing the OpenSBI Platform-Independent Library
----------------------------------------------------------------

The OpenSBI platform-independent static library *libsbi.a* can be compiled
natively or it can be cross-compiled on a host with a different base
architecture than RISC-V.

For cross-compiling, the environment variable *CROSS_COMPILE* must be defined
to specify the name prefix of the RISC-V compiler toolchain executables, e.g.
*riscv64-unknown-elf-* if the gcc executable used is *riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc*.

To build *libsbi.a* simply execute:
```
make
```

All compiled binaries as well as the resulting *libsbi.a* static library file
will be placed in the *build/lib* directory. To specify an alternate build root
directory path, run:
```
make O=<build_directory>
```

To generate files to be installed for using *libsbi.a* in other projects, run:
```
make install
```

This will create the *install* directory with all necessary include files
copied under the *install/include* directory and the library file copied into
the *install/lib* directory. To specify an alternate installation root
directory path, run:
```
make I=<install_directory> install
```

Building and Installing a Reference Platform Static Library and Firmware
------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the *PLATFORM=<platform_subdir>* argument is specified on the make command
line, the platform-specific static library *libplatsbi.a* and firmware examples
are built for the platform *<platform_subdir>* present in the directory
*platform* in the OpenSBI top directory. For example, to compile the platform
library and the firmware examples for the QEMU RISC-V *virt* machine,
*<platform_subdir>* should be *qemu/virt*.

To build *libsbi.a*, *libplatsbi.a* and the firmware for one of the supported
platforms, run:
```
make PLATFORM=<platform_subdir>
```

An alternate build directory path can also be specified:
```
make PLATFORM=<platform_subdir> O=<build_directory>
```

The platform-specific library *libplatsbi.a* will be generated in the
*build/platform/<platform_subdir>/lib* directory. The platform firmware files
will be under the *build/platform/<platform_subdir>/firmware* directory.
The compiled firmwares will be available in two different formats: an ELF file
and an expanded image file.

To install *libsbi.a*, *libplatsbi.a*, and the compiled firmwares, run:
```
make PLATFORM=<platform_subdir> install
```

This will copy the compiled platform-specific libraries and firmware files
under the *install/platform/<platform_subdir>/* directory. An alternate
install root directory path can be specified as follows:
```
make PLATFORM=<platform_subdir> I=<install_directory> install
```

In addition, platform-specific configuration options can be specified with the
top-level make command line. These options, such as *PLATFORM_<xyz>* or
*FW_<abc>*, are platform-specific and described in more details in the
*docs/platform/<platform_name>.md* files and
*docs/firmware/<firmware_name>.md* files.

Building 32-bit / 64-bit OpenSBI Images
---------------------------------------
By default, building OpenSBI generates 32-bit or 64-bit images based on the
supplied RISC-V cross-compile toolchain. For example if *CROSS_COMPILE* is set
to *riscv64-unknown-elf-*, 64-bit OpenSBI images will be generated. If building
32-bit OpenSBI images, *CROSS_COMPILE* should be set to a toolchain that is
pre-configured to generate 32-bit RISC-V codes, like *riscv32-unknown-elf-*.

However it's possible to explicitly specify the image bits we want to build with
a given RISC-V toolchain. This can be done by setting the environment variable
*PLATFORM_RISCV_XLEN* to the desired width, for example:

```
export CROSS_COMPILE=riscv64-unknown-elf-
export PLATFORM_RISCV_XLEN=32
```

will generate 32-bit OpenSBI images. And vice vesa.
