riscv-rust-quickstart

A template for building Rust applications for HiFive1 boards

This project is developed and maintained by the RISC-V team.

Dependencies

To build embedded programs using this template you'll need:

• Rust 1.36 or a newer toolchain. e.g. rustup default stable

• The cargo generate subcommand. Installation instructions.

• rust-std components (pre-compiled core crate) for the RISC-V target. Run:

$ rustup target add riscv32imac-unknown-none-elf

• RISC-V toolchain for SiFive boards

• Programmer software

  • HiFive1 Rev B: Segger JLink software & documentation pack for Linux
  • HiFive1: OpenOCD from SiFive

Using this template

NOTE: This is the very short version that only covers building programs. For the long version, which additionally covers flashing, running and debugging programs, check the embedded Rust book.

1. Instantiate the template.

$ cargo generate --git https://github.com/riscv-rust/riscv-rust-quickstart
 Project Name: app
 Creating project called `app`...
 Done! New project created /tmp/app

$ cd app

2. If you have an old HiFive1 board, edit Cargo.toml: replace board-hifive1-revb with board-hifive1.

3. Run the programmer software.

• HiFive1 Rev B:

/path/to/JLinkGDBServer -device FE310 -if JTAG -speed 4000 -port 3333 -nogui

• HiFive1:

/path/to/openocd -f board/sifive-hifive1.cfg

4. Build the template application or one of the examples.

$ cargo build
or
$ cargo build --example leds_blink

5. Run the template application or one of the examples.

$ cargo run
or
$ cargo run --example leds_blink
