building image for Realtek RTS3916N mips SoC using vendor provided prebuilt external uClibc toolchain

building image for Realtek RTS3916N mips SoC using vendor provided prebuilt external uClibc toolchain

[Davis Roman]

Hi all,

I'm working on a project utilizing a Realtek RTS3916N mips SoC and as
part of Realtek's bsp offering, they provide their own fork of
buildroot packaged with their prebuilt binary toolchain.
I would much rather use yocto instead however Realtek made it clear
that no yocto support is available from their end and they have no
plans to provide it in the future.

In theory, I have Realtek's u-boot and kernel source so it should be
possible to build an image so long as poky is instructed to use an
external toolchain. This is where I hit my first road block because
Realtek only supports uClibc and I know the yocto community moved way
from uClibc, in favor of musl, since the Morty release. As a result, I
decided to use Krogoth-15.0.0 (knowing it's EOL) only because it
supports uClibc.

Now that I had picked a specific version of poky, I continued forward
with the EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN feature. The documentation references the
meta-sourcery layer as the typical use case. Using a sourcery
toolchain tarball ( 2014.05) I was able to build qemuarm/glibc
therefore as far as I can tell the EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN feature works as
documented.

Unfortunately, the issue I have now arises when I use the Realtek
toolchain.  meta-sourcery informs me that building against uClibc is
not allowed as it has been blacklisted. Only glibc appears to be
supported.

I have looked around to see what other projects are similar and the
closest I can find is the creator CI20 however due to the Realtek
toolchain being based on uClibc, I haven't been able to find anything
suitable for my usecase.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions regarding how to proceed
forward with yocto integration, using a mips uClibc based toolchain.

Is there any other course of action that I can try?

Thank you,

Davis

We have dropped uclibc support long time ago so any effort to support 
uClibc based system will be a bit of work and we have also dropped stale 
patches from metadata so even if you are able to get external toolchain 
bolted in, you will unfurl next set of problems for yourself So I don't 
have a better answer for you here, other than drop the idea of using 
uclibc if you want to use modern yocto baseline. We did support it long 
time ago so if you like you can use thise EOLed releases but there wont 
be much support for it here on community mailing lists.

Since you have bootloader and kernel available to you, it might be less 
work to put together a BSP layer and machine definition for this SOC 
easily and it could be forward looking but there could be some 
portability issues w.r.t. toolchain etc. which are manageable
here you will use internal mips toolchain to build your system and you 
can use musl instead of uclibc to build the system or glibc is other 
supported option.

I generated an internal mips toolchain built against musl and I tried
to compile u-boot but unfortunately, I'm getting "opcode not
supported" error messages. https://pastebin.com/QdcLxy69
If instead I use the realtek provided prebuilt toolchain then u-boot
compiles successfully. https://pastebin.com/zcQ5kc20

I'm thinking that Realtek's toolchain has patches specific to their
SoC that have not been pushed upstream. Could this be the reason I'm
unable to compile uboot?

I’m guessing that your U-Boot config doesn’t set the correct MIPS architecture revision. The compiler error shows that you’re trying to assemble a MIPS32r1 instruction, but the compiler is targeting the original MIPS1 architecture. The Realtek toolchain may have set the default architecture to match the SoC, but the fix is to update the config to match the hardware.

You're right. I didn't realize the RX5281 core on the RTS3916N only
supports mips1 or mips16 (https://pasteboard.co/IpsqN6GkBYAs.png).

I happened to have a mips sourcery toolchain installed on my machine
(https://sourcery.sw.siemens.com/GNUToolchain/package12797/public/mips-linux-gnu/mips-2014.05-27-mips-linux-gnu-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2)
so I pointed that to u-boot without modifying anything else and it was
able to compile u-boot successfully. Woot!
https://pastebin.com/ySPFae5u

I suppose the next step would be to generate a mips1 yocto toolchain
however according to the available tune values it appears only mips32
or mips64 is available

Any suggestions on how to generate a mips1 yocto toolchain or if
that's even supported?

Yes it’s supported although it’s not default for qemumips so the simple
trick you can do is change the DEFAULTTUNE setting in the qemumips.conf
away from mips32r2

Sorry Khem, I'm not quite following you. I tried the following patch
(https://pastebin.com/rkmQ3t6P) thinking perhaps this is what you
meant however my build configuration still shows the tune set to
mips32r2 https://pastebin.com/izP9thVW

What am I missing?

Nevermind, I scraped the last patch, recreated my BUILD_DIR, set
MACHINE = "qemumips" and added DEFAULTTUNE = "mips" in my local.conf.
Now the build configuration correct https://pastebin.com/pkkRVL58 and
I'm now waiting for the toolchain to finish so I can attempt to build
realtek's u-boot.

Unfortunately, I still get the original u-boot error
(https://pastebin.com/8eKzFWQh) even after creating a toolchain using
DEFAULTTUNE=mips.

Later I re-read what Anders Montonen had mentioned regarding the arch
needs to be set in the u-boot source itself (since the yocto toolchain
does not contain the same defaults as the realtek toolchain) so I
decided to tweak arch/mips/Makefile to set the arch to mips32 ( it
should be backwards compatible with mips1)

With this patch, my build was able to get a little farther
(https://pastebin.com/BkC2NY1Y) however I got the following linker
error:

mipsel-poky-linux-ld.bfd: u-boot: error: PHDR segment not covered by
LOAD segment
Makefile:1214: recipe for target 'u-boot' failed
make: *** [u-boot] Error 1

Any idea what this could be about? or thoughts in general?


I'm not sure if the gcc dumpspecs for each toolchain would be useful
but here they are just in case.
yocto toolchain - https://pastebin.com/BLRveGWD ( not able to compile
realtek u-boot)
realtek toolchain - https://pastebin.com/cPwRa9jf ( able to compile
