SMP support for RISC-V based Microchip PolarFire SoC Icicle Kit

Hi There,
Thanks to everyone for the feedback thus far, it is really appreciated. Our plan is to modify the code that affects the arch/riscv for smp support so that it is generic/agnostic. We will also work on getting the port working on Qemu with the provided models. Also, it really great to hear that the port worked in Renode! this is a serious advantage for us. I will report back here, as we make progress. Kind Regards, Conor conor.paxton@... petermcshane@...

I believe qemu also has models for the SMP SiFive models (which, I'd

expect, have a very similar CPU complex to the PolarFire). Making sure that the port works there to enable a broader set of developers to run tests on it would be a great venue for making the SMP support generic per Anas' request. Super excited to see this enabled! -Olof

Nashif, Anas
Conor, Thank you for sharing, this is great. Just a quick comment, from a quick look at the links below, I noticed the arch changes to riscv adding smp support and other generic code references your SOC and hardware, this need to be made generic and vendor/soc agnostic before you submit to the zephyr tree.
Thanks, Anas

Hi Conor We have tried to run it in Renode and everything worked as expected! We checked the smp/pi sample and some other basic apps like hello-world or synchronization. We'd be happy to review it when you bump your branch on top of the latest codebase and submit the PR! Best regards Piotr Zierhoffer Antmicro

Hi there,
We have been working on a port of zephyr for the Microchip PolarFire SoC Icicle Kit, focusing on SMP support. It is very much in initial stages, however, we have tested it on our hardware using the smp/pi application and have had good results. We would now like to put it out there, to see if we could get some feedback. We are on an older version of the zephyr code base (2.4.99), which we plan on updating to the latest release in the coming weeks. You can find the source our code here: https://github.com/polarfire-soc/zephyr/tree/mpfs-zephyr And information about the PolarFire SoC and Icicle Kit here: https://github.com/polarfire-soc/zephyr/tree/mpfs-zephyr Kind Regards, Conor Paxton conor.paxton@... petermcshane@...
