StarFive JH7110 quad-core RISC-V CPU

Post by don570 »

StarFive JH7110 quad-core RISC-V CPU with Imagination GPU will be found in the Pine64 .
The Pine64 Star64 is an anticipated single board computer (SBC) with a form factor like the previous Pine64 model B boards like the Quartz64 Model A

Both 4GB and 8GB of RAM, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, a WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 module, USB 3.0 ports, a PCIe slot, and a GPIO header for expansion are included with the Star64 SBC.

The Pine64 team mentioned one potential application for the PCIe x4 slot: using a PCIe to SATA adaptor to build a NAS with several discs. Debian and Fedora are already being transferred to the RISC-V CPU, which is not unexpected as they are the same operating systems that are anticipated to first run on StarFive's own VisionFive 2 SBC. The software for the StarFive JH7110 SoC is currently a work in progress.

Pine64 Star64 is anticipated to be made accessible to developers only in a few weeks, even if the price has not yet been disclosed.

Penglai-PMP on VisionFive
We plan to port open-sourced Penglai-PMP to VisionFive, Penglai-PMP follows the PMP (Physical Memory Protection) rules in RISC-V ISA v1.10 to enable memory barrier protection.

The github repository for Penglai-PMP is GitHub - Penglai-Enclave/Penglai-Enclave-sPMP: Penglai Enclave is an open-sourced, secure and scalable TEE system for RISC-V. 5 Root direcotry includes opensbi-0.9 and openEuler-kernel, representing two important porting components, SBI and OS kernel respectively. Penglai SM (Secure Monitor) is based on OpenSBI 0.9, the source code is under /opensbi-0.9/lib/sbi/sm, and is going to be a part of OpenSBI to compile and form fw_payload, the firmware platform.

Penglai-PMP offers memory isolation protection based on user-mode enclave abstraction. SM running in M-mode provides enclave lifecycle management. The process of memory isolation protection is completed around the enclave lifecycle. In addition, SM also supports enclave key management and remote authentication, and is responsible for random number generation. The platform needs to provide the device root key bound to the platform identity and provide the proof to the SM through secure boot user mode.

Penglai kernel drive is a Linux module. openEuler 21.04 is a relatively better version in Euler OS community that supports RISC-V. Penglai-PMP will use openEuler to demo and simplify the porting process, Penglai-PMP supports other Linux distributions as well.

Note that the benefit of this board is the substantial less power consumption compared to ARM architecture.

Well, IDK... Power requirements are still 5V/3A like all other competitors.
Looks to be a clone of Cortex A-57 x4 as the test comparisons are a bit sneaky.

Money talks... no, it shouts, so that it doesn't have to hear common sense.

5V/3A is the supply however I read in pine64 monthly notes

at least in theory, the Star64 would make a great NAS because of its SoCs low thermals and idle power.

Pine64 will use 12V because pcie slot is powered
