The linker script was included in the "$^" inputs, causing the build to fail: LINK build/firmware.elf powerpc64le-linux-gnu-ld: error: linker script file 'powerpc.lds' appears multiple times As a fix the linker script is left as a dependency of the elf, but only the object files are linked.
The PowerPC port that runs on microwatt and qemu
This port is intended to be a minimal MicroPython port that runs in QEMU, microwatt simulator with ghdl or microwatt on Xilinx FPGA with potato UART.
Building
By default the port will be built for the host machine:
$ make
Cross compilation for POWERPC
If you need to cross compilers you'll want to grab a powerpc64le compiler (not powerpc or powerpc64).
On Ubuntu (18.04) you'll want:
$ apt install gcc-powerpc64le-linux-gnu
(Use CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64le-linux-gnu-)
If your distro doesn't have cross compilers, you can get cross compilers here:
- https://toolchains.bootlin.com/ (use CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64le-buildroot-linux-gnu-)
(Avoid musl libc as it defines __assert_fail() differently to glibc which breaks the micropython powerpc code)
Then do:
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=<compiler prefix>
Building will produce the build/firmware.bin file which can be used QEMU or microwatt.
To run in QEMU use:
$ ./qemu-system-ppc64 -M powernv -cpu POWER9 -nographic -bios build/firmware.bin
