[PATCH v3 3/9] target/riscv: Add the lowRISC Ibex CPU
Posted by Alistair Francis 5 years, 7 months ago
Ibex is a small and efficient, 32-bit, in-order RISC-V core with
a 2-stage pipeline that implements the RV32IMC instruction set
architecture.

Hi Alistair,

I see all RISC-V cpus  have an reset vector which acts as the first pc 
when machine boots up.
However, the first pc is more like an attribute of a machine, not a cpu.

Another reason is that the cpu names are a combination of ISA.
Then the cpus from different vendors may have same ISA, with different 
reset vectors.

Do you think so?

In general it seems to be a CPU property. I assume that some CPUs
would allow the reset vector to be selectable though, in which case it
becomes a board property.

If you are worried about CPUs with different vectors we could always
make it a property in the future and have boards override it. I don't
think we need that yet (only 1 CPU is different) but it is an easy
future change.

I think your are right. A cpu reset vector property is better. If there 
is a conflict in the future,
we can add the property there.
