This patch provides a basic defconfig for the RISC-V architecture that enables enough kernel features to run a basic Linux distribution on qemu's "virt" board for native software development. Features include: - serial console - virtio block and network device support - VFAT and ext2/3/4 filesystem support - NFS client and NFS rootfs support - an assortment of other kernel features required for running systemd It also enables a number of drivers for physical hardware that target the "SiFive U500" SoC and the corresponding development platform. These include: - PCIe host controller support for the FPGA-based U500 development platform (PCIE_XILINX) - USB host controller support (OHCI/EHCI/XHCI) - USB HID (keyboard/mouse) support - USB mass storage support (bulk and UAS) - SATA support (AHCI) - ethernet drivers (MACB for a SoC-internal MAC block, microsemi ethernet phy, E1000E and R8169 for PCIe-connected external devices) - DRM and framebuffer console support for PCIe-connected Radeon graphics chips Signed-off-by: Karsten Merker <merker@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@sifive.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
