[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/3] Ethernet support for QEMU sifive_u machine

This patchset enables Cadance MACB ethernet driver for QEMU sifive_u machine. The Cadance MACB ethernet driver works fine for QEMU sifive_u machince in both M-mode and S-mode with some minor fixes.
The patches are based upon latest RISC-V U-Boot tree (git://git.denx.de/u-boot-riscv.git) at commit id 9deb8d2fcd13d4a40a4e63c396fe4376af46efac
To try on QEMU, please ensure following patches are applied to QEMU sources: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10729579/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10729581/

From: Anup Patel anup.patel@wdc.com
This patch does following fixes in MACB ethernet driver for using it on RISC-V systems (particularly QEMU sifive_u machine): 1. asm/arch/clk.h is not available on RISC-V port so include it only for non-RISC-V systems. 2. Don't fail in macb_enable_clk() if clk_enable() returns -ENOSYS because we get -ENOSYS for fixed-rate clocks.

My understanding is that we need enable QEMU network via "-netdev " (either usr, or tap), with a corresponding "-device". I don't know how to set it up. What's your command line to test this?

"-netdev" or "-device" parameters are not mandatory. By default, virtual NICs are in NAT mode. The QEMU NAT gateway is at IP address 10.0.2.2. We can always ping the NAT gateway when virtual NIC is in NAT mode.

I have always been using "qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -M sifive_u -kernel u-boot" to test U-Boot on qemu risc-v. With above command, I can "ping 10.0.2.2" and get the exact the same result as yours.
However I wanted to connect the tap interface to the emulated network controller for testing, that's why I wanted to use "-device" and "-netdev", but I don't know which device string I need to tell QEMU. After a bit googleing I got the following page: https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Embedded-Processor-System-Design/Zynq-QEMU-Netw...
From the page it looks that the device should be "-device
cadence_gem", but when I pass it to QEMU I got:
qemu-system-riscv64: -device cadence_gem,netdev=net0: Parameter 'driver' expects pluggable device type
It looks cadence_gem is not a pluggable device. Any ideas?

This patchset enables Cadance MACB ethernet driver for QEMU sifive_u machine. The Cadance MACB ethernet driver works fine for QEMU sifive_u machince in both M-mode and S-mode with some minor fixes.
The patches are based upon latest RISC-V U-Boot tree (git://git.denx.de/u-boot-riscv.git) at commit id 9deb8d2fcd13d4a40a4e63c396fe4376af46efac
To try on QEMU, please ensure following patches are applied to QEMU sources: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10729579/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10729581/
What "-device " parameter should I tell QEMU to instantiate the MACB? "-device ?" does not give me anything that looks like MACB. Without a proper "-device " parameter, I can boot U-Boot on QEMU sifive_u and see U-Boot driver is probed, but a simple 'ping' test does not work.
Try the following: # setenv ipaddr 10.0.2.1 # ping 10.0.2.2
Yes, I have set up all the required network parameters.
The above works for me on QEMU.
My understanding is that we need enable QEMU network via "-netdev " (either usr, or tap), with a corresponding "-device". I don't know how to set it up. What's your command line to test this?

I have always been using "qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -M sifive_u -kernel u-boot" to test U-Boot on qemu risc-v. With above command, I can "ping 10.0.2.2" and get the exact the same result as yours.
However I wanted to connect the tap interface to the emulated network controller for testing, that's why I wanted to use "-device" and "-netdev", but I don't know which device string I need to tell QEMU. After a bit googleing I got the following page: https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Embedded-Processor-System-Design/Zynq-QEMU-Netw...
From the page it looks that the device should be "-device cadence_gem", but when I pass it to QEMU I got:
qemu-system-riscv64: -device cadence_gem,netdev=net0: Parameter 'driver' expects pluggable device type
It looks cadence_gem is not a pluggable device. Any ideas?
I have mostly tried TAP devices with VirtIO-Net. I believe this could be some bug in Cadence GEM emulation of QEMU.
I managed to get tap interface connected to the cadence_gem controller. The QEMU command line is "qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -M sifive_u -kernel u-boot -nic tap,model=cadence_gem"
A single "ping" works after I set related network environments in the shell. But "tftp" test fails. It looks the driver just time out.

Sorry, I got busy with other stuff.
I think this is specific to QEMU environment. The ethernet driver also few udelay calls which can further slow things down.
From your log it seems that, it is working functionally but you
are seeing too many timeouts. Try playing with "TIMEOUT" or "TIMEOUT_COUNT" in net/tftp.c
You can also try same thing over VirtIO net of QEMU virt machine.

"-netdev" or "-device" parameters are not mandatory. By default, virtual NICs are in NAT mode. The QEMU NAT gateway is at IP address 10.0.2.2. We can always ping the NAT gateway when virtual NIC is in NAT mode.
Here's how I compile for M-mode: # ARCH=riscv # CROSS_COMPILE=riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu- # make qemu-riscv64_defconfig # make

I suspect there are some issues with the MACB driver to be used with RISC-V.
You can also try same thing over VirtIO net of QEMU virt machine.
The default same settings with VirtIO net interface works like a charm.

Unlikely because Microsemi folks seems to use it on HiFive Unleashed board. https://github.com/Microsemi-SoC-IP/HiFive_U-Boot
We are still debugging on HiFive Unleashed board so stay tuned for more patches.

Any ideas?
I have mostly tried TAP devices with VirtIO-Net. I believe this could be some bug in Cadence GEM emulation of QEMU.
I managed to get tap interface connected to the cadence_gem controller. The QEMU command line is "qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -M sifive_u -kernel u-boot -nic tap,model=cadence_gem"
A single "ping" works after I set related network environments in the shell. But "tftp" test fails. It looks the driver just time out.

Sorry, I got busy with other stuff.
I think this is specific to QEMU environment. The ethernet driver also few udelay calls which can further slow things down.
From your log it seems that, it is working functionally but you are seeing too many timeouts. Try playing with "TIMEOUT" or "TIMEOUT_COUNT" in net/tftp.c
I suspect there are some issues with the MACB driver to be used with RISC-V.
Unlikely because Microsemi folks seems to use it on HiFive Unleashed board. https://github.com/Microsemi-SoC-IP/HiFive_U-Boot
It looks Microsemi's port is using the non-DM version of MACB driver while this series is using DM version. Something is wrong when working with QEMU's MACB controller.
We are still debugging on HiFive Unleashed board so stay tuned for more patches.

Any idea about the timeouts?
Sorry, I got busy with other stuff.
I think this is specific to QEMU environment. The ethernet driver also few udelay calls which can further slow things down.
From your log it seems that, it is working functionally but you are seeing too many timeouts. Try playing with "TIMEOUT" or "TIMEOUT_COUNT" in net/tftp.c
I suspect there are some issues with the MACB driver to be used with RISC-V.
Unlikely because Microsemi folks seems to use it on HiFive Unleashed board. https://github.com/Microsemi-SoC-IP/HiFive_U-Boot
It looks Microsemi's port is using the non-DM version of MACB driver while this series is using DM version. Something is wrong when working with QEMU's MACB controller.
Yes, could be some issue with QEMU MACB emulation.
Anyway, we have U-Boot booting on Unleashed board with few fixes in SiFive UART driver (Atish will send-out the fixes after more testing).
This means same u-boot.bin boots on QEMU virt, QEMU sifive_u and HiFive unleashed. We are on path towards having unified u-boot.bin for multiple targets.
This is great! Once it's ready I can help the testing.

Sorry, I got busy with other stuff.
I think this is specific to QEMU environment. The ethernet driver also few udelay calls which can further slow things down.
From your log it seems that, it is working functionally but you are seeing too many timeouts. Try playing with "TIMEOUT" or "TIMEOUT_COUNT" in net/tftp.c
I suspect there are some issues with the MACB driver to be used with RISC-V.
Unlikely because Microsemi folks seems to use it on HiFive Unleashed board. https://github.com/Microsemi-SoC-IP/HiFive_U-Boot
It looks Microsemi's port is using the non-DM version of MACB driver while this series is using DM version. Something is wrong when working with QEMU's MACB controller.
Yes, could be some issue with QEMU MACB emulation.
Anyway, we have U-Boot booting on Unleashed board with few fixes in SiFive UART driver (Atish will send-out the fixes after more testing).
This means same u-boot.bin boots on QEMU virt, QEMU sifive_u and HiFive unleashed. We are on path towards having unified u-boot.bin for multiple targets.
This is great! Once it's ready I can help the testing.
Thanks in-advance.
I would suggest to get this series for U-Boot 2019.01. What say?

Try the following: # setenv ipaddr 10.0.2.1 # ping 10.0.2.2
Yes, I have set up all the required network parameters.
The above works for me on QEMU.
My understanding is that we need enable QEMU network via "-netdev " (either usr, or tap), with a corresponding "-device". I don't know how to set it up. What's your command line to test this?
"-netdev" or "-device" parameters are not mandatory. By default, virtual NICs are in NAT mode. The QEMU NAT gateway is at IP address 10.0.2.2. We can always ping the NAT gateway when virtual NIC is in NAT mode.
Here's how I compile for M-mode: # ARCH=riscv # CROSS_COMPILE=riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu- # make qemu-riscv64_defconfig # make
My U-boot log is as follows:
anup@anup-ubuntu64:~/Work/riscv-test/u-boot$ qemu-system-riscv64 -M sifive_u -m 256M -display none -serial stdio -kernel ./u-boot

I have always been using "qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -M sifive_u -kernel u-boot" to test U-Boot on qemu risc-v. With above command, I can "ping 10.0.2.2" and get the exact the same result as yours.
However I wanted to connect the tap interface to the emulated network controller for testing, that's why I wanted to use "-device" and "-netdev", but I don't know which device string I need to tell QEMU. After a bit googleing I got the following page: https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Embedded-Processor-System-Design/Zynq-QEMU-Netw...
From the page it looks that the device should be "-device cadence_gem", but when I pass it to QEMU I got:
qemu-system-riscv64: -device cadence_gem,netdev=net0: Parameter 'driver' expects pluggable device type
It looks cadence_gem is not a pluggable device. Any ideas?
I have mostly tried TAP devices with VirtIO-Net. I believe this could be some bug in Cadence GEM emulation of QEMU.
I managed to get tap interface connected to the cadence_gem controller. The QEMU command line is "qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -M sifive_u -kernel u-boot -nic tap,model=cadence_gem"
A single "ping" works after I set related network environments in the shell. But "tftp" test fails. It looks the driver just time out.

Can you please take a look?
Just let everyone know that this GEM emulation issue has been fixed by the following QEMU patch (series): http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1143358/
