 Sipeed MAIX-Bit Board
 =====================

 The Sipeed MAXI-Bit board is a dual-core RISC-V 64-bits board based on the
 Canaan Kendryte K210 SoC.

 Prerequisite
 ------------

 In order to use the kflash utility to program this board, the user must have
 access to the board USB serial device file. The simplest way to do this is to
 add your user to the same group as this device file. Assume the device file is
 /dev/ttyUSB0, first identify the device group name. In most cases, it is
 either "dialout" or "uucp". Also verify that read-write access is enabled for
 the group:

 ```
 $ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0
 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 May 26 13:48 /dev/ttyUSB0
 ```

 Then add yourself to that group (dialout in this example):

 ```
 $ sudo usermod -a -G dialout $(whoami)
 ```

 To enable the above, it is sometimes necessary to logout and login again.

 Buildroot Configuration
 -----------------------

 Two buildroot configuration files are provided:

 (1) Direct Linux Kernel Boot

 This is defined by the sipeed_maix_bit_defconfig configuration. This
 configuration allows building a bootable kernel image with a built-in initramfs
 root file system (the board SD card is not used). The built kernel image can be
 flashed directly to the board ROM for direct booting. No boot loader is
 required.

 (2) U-Boot SD-Card Boot

 The sipeed_maix_bit_sdcard_defconfig configuration allows building a kernel
 image with the root file system on the board SD card. U-Boot is used as the
 boot loader.

 Both configuration files will also compile and install the kflash and
 pyserial-miniterm host utilities to program bootable image files to the board
 and open a serial terminal console.

 Direct Linux Kernel Boot
 -------------------------

 Using the sipeed_maix_bit_defconfig configuration, the bootable kernel binary
 image is built as follows.

 ```
 $ make sipeed_maix_bit_defconfig
 $ make
 ```

 The bootable binary image is the output/images/loader.bin file. This image file
 can be written to the board boot ROM using the kflash utility.

 ```
 $ output/host/bin/kflash -b 1500000 -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -t output/images/loader.bin
 ```

 Once the kernel image file is fully programmed, a terminal console is open and
 the board can be rebooted by pressing the reset button on the board (if it does
 not reboot automatically).

 The output will be similar to the following.

 ```

 To open a terminal console without re-flashing the board, the pyserial-miniterm
 host tool can be used.

 ```
 $ output/host/bin/pyserial-miniterm --raw --eol=LF /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
 ```

 The options "--raw" and "--eol=LF" are added here to avoid a double carriage
 return each time a command is entered.


 U-Boot SD-Card Boot
 -------------------

 The build procedure is similar to the direct Linux kernel boot case.

 ```
 $ make sipeed_maix_bit_sdcard_defconfig
 $ make
 ```

 The build process will generate two files under the output/images directory.

 * sdcard.img: The image file for the SD card filesystem. This image has 2
   partitions. The first partition is a vfat partition containing the kernel
   uImage and the board device tree binary. The second partition is the root
   filesystem with busybox installed. The second partition is formatted using
   ext2 (rev1).

 * uboot.bin: U-Boot bootable binary to load and boot the kernel from the SD
   card.

 The SD card can be prepared by writing the sdcard.img file, as follows.

 ```
 $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
 $ sync
 $ eject /dev/sdX
 ```

 Where /dev/sdX is the device file name of the SD card. Once completed, the SD
 card can be inserted into the board and the U-Boot binary image written to the
 board boot flash using the kflash utility.

 ```
 $ output/host/bin/kflash -b 1500000 -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -t output/images/u-boot.bin
 ```

 The above command will program U-Boot image to the board boot ROM and open a
 terminal console once the u-boot.bin file is fully programmed. Reboot into the
 newly programmed environment by pressing the board reset button.

 The output will be similar to the following.

 ```

 ```

 Of note is that the kernel mounts the SD card as read-only by default to avoid
 corruptions of the ext2 root file system when the board is powered down. This
 is recommended as this board does not support clean shutdown or halt.

 Similarly to the initramfs build case, a console can be open without
 re-flashing the board using the host tool pyserial-miniterm.

 ```

	Sipeed MAIX-Bit Board
	=====================

	The Sipeed MAXI-Bit board is a dual-core RISC-V 64-bits board based on the
	Canaan Kendryte K210 SoC.

	Prerequisite
	------------

	In order to use the kflash utility to program this board, the user must have
	access to the board USB serial device file. The simplest way to do this is to
	add your user to the same group as this device file. Assume the device file is
	/dev/ttyUSB0, first identify the device group name. In most cases, it is
	either "dialout" or "uucp". Also verify that read-write access is enabled for
	the group:

	```
	$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0
	crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 May 26 13:48 /dev/ttyUSB0
	```

	Then add yourself to that group (dialout in this example):

	```
	$ sudo usermod -a -G dialout $(whoami)
	```

	To enable the above, it is sometimes necessary to logout and login again.

	Buildroot Configuration
	-----------------------

	Two buildroot configuration files are provided:

	(1) Direct Linux Kernel Boot

	This is defined by the sipeed_maix_bit_defconfig configuration. This
	configuration allows building a bootable kernel image with a built-in initramfs
	root file system (the board SD card is not used). The built kernel image can be
	flashed directly to the board ROM for direct booting. No boot loader is
	required.

	(2) U-Boot SD-Card Boot

	The sipeed_maix_bit_sdcard_defconfig configuration allows building a kernel
	image with the root file system on the board SD card. U-Boot is used as the
	boot loader.

	Both configuration files will also compile and install the kflash and
	pyserial-miniterm host utilities to program bootable image files to the board
	and open a serial terminal console.

	Direct Linux Kernel Boot
	-------------------------

	Using the sipeed_maix_bit_defconfig configuration, the bootable kernel binary
	image is built as follows.

	```
	$ make sipeed_maix_bit_defconfig
	$ make
	```

	The bootable binary image is the output/images/loader.bin file. This image file
	can be written to the board boot ROM using the kflash utility.

	```
	$ output/host/bin/kflash -b 1500000 -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -t output/images/loader.bin
	```

	Once the kernel image file is fully programmed, a terminal console is open and
	the board can be rebooted by pressing the reset button on the board (if it does
	not reboot automatically).

	The output will be similar to the following.

	To open a terminal console without re-flashing the board, the pyserial-miniterm
	host tool can be used.

	```
	$ output/host/bin/pyserial-miniterm --raw --eol=LF /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
	```

	The options "--raw" and "--eol=LF" are added here to avoid a double carriage
	return each time a command is entered.


	U-Boot SD-Card Boot
	-------------------

	The build procedure is similar to the direct Linux kernel boot case.

	```
	$ make sipeed_maix_bit_sdcard_defconfig
	$ make
	```

	The build process will generate two files under the output/images directory.

	* sdcard.img: The image file for the SD card filesystem. This image has 2
	partitions. The first partition is a vfat partition containing the kernel
	uImage and the board device tree binary. The second partition is the root
	filesystem with busybox installed. The second partition is formatted using
	ext2 (rev1).

	* uboot.bin: U-Boot bootable binary to load and boot the kernel from the SD
	card.

	The SD card can be prepared by writing the sdcard.img file, as follows.

	```
	$ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
	$ sync
	$ eject /dev/sdX
	```

	Where /dev/sdX is the device file name of the SD card. Once completed, the SD
	card can be inserted into the board and the U-Boot binary image written to the
	board boot flash using the kflash utility.

	```
	$ output/host/bin/kflash -b 1500000 -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -t output/images/u-boot.bin
	```

	The above command will program U-Boot image to the board boot ROM and open a
	terminal console once the u-boot.bin file is fully programmed. Reboot into the
	newly programmed environment by pressing the board reset button.

	The output will be similar to the following.

	Of note is that the kernel mounts the SD card as read-only by default to avoid
	corruptions of the ext2 root file system when the board is powered down. This
	is recommended as this board does not support clean shutdown or halt.

	Similarly to the initramfs build case, a console can be open without
	re-flashing the board using the host tool pyserial-miniterm.

	```
	$ output/host/bin/pyserial-miniterm --raw --eol=LF /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
