Maix Bit
========
Several of the Sipeed Maix series of boards cotain the Kendryte K210 processor,
a 64-bit RISC-V CPU. This processor contains several peripherals to accelerate
neural network processing and other "ai" tasks. This includes a "KPU" neural
network processor, an audio processor supporting beamforming reception, and a
digital video port supporting capture and output at VGA resolution. Other
peripherals include 8M of SRAM (accessible with and without caching); remappable
pins, including 40 GPIOs; AES, FFT, and SHA256 accelerators; a DMA controller;
and I2C, I2S, and SPI controllers. Maix peripherals vary, but include spi flash;
on-board usb-serial bridges; ports for cameras, displays, and sd cards; and
ESP32 chips. Currently, only the Sipeed Maix Bit V2.0 (bitm) is supported, but
the boards are fairly similar.
Documentation for Maix boards is available from
`Sipeed's website <http://dl.sipeed.com/MAIX/HDK/>`_.
Documentation for the Kendryte K210 is available from
`Kendryte's website <https://kendryte.com/downloads/>`_. However, hardware
details are rather lacking, so most technical reference has been taken from the
`standalone sdk <https://github.com/kendryte/kendryte-standalone-sdk>`_.
Build and boot steps
--------------------
To build u-boot, run
.. code-block:: none
make sipeed_maix_bitm_defconfig
make CROSS_COMPILE=<your cross compile prefix>
To flash u-boot to a maix bit, run
.. code-block:: none
kflash -tp /dev/<your tty here> -B bit_mic u-boot-dtb.bin
Boot output should look like the following:
.. code-block:: none

Over- and Under-clocking
------------------------
To change the clock speed of the K210, you will need to enable
``CONFIG_CLK_K210_SET_RATE`` and edit the board's device tree. To do this, add a
section to ``arch/riscv/arch/riscv/dts/k210-maix-bit.dts`` like the following:
.. code-block:: none
&sysclk {
assigned-clocks = <&sysclk K210_CLK_PLL0>;
assigned-clock-rates = <800000000>;
};
There are three PLLs on the K210: PLL0 is the parent of most of the components,
including the CPU and RAM. PLL1 is the parent of the neural network coprocessor.
PLL2 is the parent of the sound processing devices. Note that child clocks of
PLL0 and PLL2 run at *half* the speed of the PLLs. For example, if PLL0 is
running at 800 MHz, then the CPU will run at 400 MHz. This is the example given
above. The CPU can be overclocked to around 600 MHz, and underclocked to 26 MHz.
It is possible to set PLL2's parent to PLL0. The plls are more accurate when
converting between similar frequencies. This makes it easier to get an accurate
frequency for I2S. As an example, consider sampling an I2S device at 44.1 kHz.
On this device, the I2S serial clock runs at 64 times the sample rate.
Therefore, we would like to run PLL2 at an even multiple of 2.8224 MHz. If
PLL2's parent is IN0, we could use a frequency of 390 MHz (the same as the CPU's
default speed). Dividing by 138 yields a serial clock of about 2.8261 MHz. This
results in a sample rate of 44.158 kHz---around 50 Hz or .1% too fast. If,
instead, we set PLL2's parent to PLL1 running at 390 MHz, and request a rate of
2.8224 * 136 = 383.8464 MHz, the achieved rate is 383.90625 MHz. Dividing by 136
yields a serial clock of about 2.8228 MHz. This results in a sample rate of
44.107 kHz---just 7 Hz or .02% too fast. This configuration is shown in the
following example:
.. code-block:: none
&sysclk {
assigned-clocks = <&sysclk K210_CLK_PLL1>, <&sysclk K210_CLK_PLL2>;
assigned-clock-parents = <0>, <&sysclk K210_CLK_PLL1>;
assigned-clock-rates = <390000000>, <383846400>;
};
There are a couple of quirks to the PLLs. First, there are more frequency ratios
just above and below 1.0, but there is a small gap around 1.0. To be explicit,
if the input frequency is 100 MHz, it would be impossible to have an output of
99 or 101 MHz. In addition, there is a maximum frequency for the internal VCO,
so higher input/output frequencies will be less accurate than lower ones.
Technical Details
-----------------
Boot Sequence
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1. ``RESET`` pin is deasserted.
2. Both harts begin executing at ``0x00001000``.
3. Both harts jump to firmware at ``0x88000000``.
4. One hart is chosen as a boot hart.
5. Firmware reads value of pin ``IO_16`` (ISP).
* If the pin is low, enter ISP mode. This mode allows loading data to ram,
writing it to flash, and booting from specific addresses.
* If the pin is high, continue boot.
6. Firmware reads the next stage from flash (SPI3) to address ``0x80000000``.
* If byte 0 is 1, the next stage is decrypted using the built-in AES
accelerator and the one-time programmable, 128-bit AES key.
* Bytes 1 to 4 hold the length of the next stage.
* The SHA-256 sum of the next stage is automatically calculated, and verified
against the 32 bytes following the next stage.
7. The boot hart sends an IPI to the other hart telling it to jump to the next
stage.
8. The boot hart jumps to ``0x80000000``.
