Architecture and Optimization

The following settings are applied to all stages for this subarch via Funtoo subarch profiles:

CHOSTriscv64-unknown-linux-gnu
CFLAGS-O2 -march=rv64gc -mabi=lp64d


What you need

Installation

  • Insert the prepared microSD card and boot into the Linux loaded on it.
  • Follow the usual Funtoo installation process to prepare the M.2 disk (/dev/nvme0n1), but don't create a separate boot partition, as you're going to be using the one already present on the microSD card (/dev/mmcblk0p3).
  • Mount your partitions under /mnt/funtoo, it should look similar to this (ignore additional rows):
root # lsblk
mmcblk0     179:0    0    30G  0 disk
  • Finish the usual normal Funtoo installation until you need to configure booting (remember to add the microSD card boot partition to your fstab
  • Add Funtoo to the U-Boot config on the microSD card:
   /mnt/funtoo/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
default Funtoo

label OpenEmbedded-SiFive-HiFive-Unmatched
   kernel /Image.gz-initramfs-unmatched.bin
   fdt /hifive-unmatched-a00.dtb
   append root=/dev/mmcblk0p4 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait console=ttySIF0,115200 earlycon

label Funtoo
   kernel /Image.gz-initramfs-unmatched.bin
   fdt /hifive-unmatched-a00.dtb
   append root=/dev/nvme0n1p1 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait console=ttySIF0,115200 earlycon
  • Rebooting should load your Funtoo installation with the official Freedom U SDK kernel
   Note

Self-compiled kernel: Build the kernel into a single (EFI) image (with an embedded initramfs, should you need one), then install that to the microSD card's boot partition, along with the hifive-unmatched-a00.dtb file from your kernel's source directory. Adjust the kernel and fdt entries from /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf accordingly.
