Hello Yu Chien Peter,

Yeah, this zifencei_zicsr extension flag thing is annoying ...

I am not sure, whether you need to specify custom makeopts for uboot after 
all: Looking at the current andes_ae350_45_defconfig (https://gitlab.com/
buildroot.org/buildroot/-/blob/4de60e41c3487946712da6d889ef89d325c2032a/
configs/andes_ae350_45_defconfig), it seems, that there is no special/custom gcc 
version defined. Hence the gcc version should be buildroot's current default 
version, i.e., v12.3.0. For this version, buildroot already adds the flags for 
zifencei and zicsr extension, see here:

https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/blob/
4de60e41c3487946712da6d889ef89d325c2032a/arch/arch.mk.riscv#L38-39

And I also believe, that these defines should be sufficient to set the rv64imafdc 
flags:

>  BR2_RISCV_ISA_CUSTOM_RVM=y
> +BR2_RISCV_ISA_CUSTOM_RVA=y
>  BR2_RISCV_ISA_CUSTOM_RVF=y
>  BR2_RISCV_ISA_CUSTOM_RVD=y
>  BR2_RISCV_ISA_CUSTOM_RVC=y

So I think setting BR2_RISCV_ISA_CUSTOM_RVA=y is correct. However, you could 
try whether it works, if you then completely remove the 
BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_CUSTOM_MAKEOPTS?

Best regards,
Kilian

I think these should be two separate patches. Indeed, only the second
part is needed to fix the build failure. Could you check this, and if
it's the case, split into two patches?

Thanks!

The U-Boot version used by the andes_ae350_45 defconfig indeed includes:

# Newer binutils versions default to ISA spec version 20191213 which moves some
# instructions from the I extension to the Zicsr and Zifencei extensions.
toolchain-need-zicsr-zifencei := $(call cc-option-yn, -mabi=$(ABI) -march=$(RISCV_MARCH)_zicsr_zifencei)
ifeq ($(toolchain-need-zicsr-zifencei),y)
        RISCV_MARCH := $(RISCV_MARCH)_zicsr_zifencei
endif

So it should already be doing the right thing automatically. However,
the fact that the defconfig forces its own ARCH_FLAGS=-march=rv64imafdc
is probably what breaks the build.

So I agree with Kilian here: please try without any:

BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_CUSTOM_MAKEOPTS="ARCH_FLAGS=-march=rv64imafdc"

and see if that helps. However in that case, you might need indeed to
keep the addition of BR2_RISCV_ISA_CUSTOM_RVA=y as part of the fix:
please double check that.

Thanks!

Thomas

Hi Thomas, Kilian,

Yeah, I should not override the ARCH_FLAGS with BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_CUSTOM_MAKEOPTS.
I've rebuilt it without any problems, so I will remove the configuration and
add a patch to set R2_RISCV_ISA_CUSTOM_RVA.

Thanks for your review!

Best regards,
Peter Lin
