Adding a RISC-V board to QEMU

Adding a RISC-V board to QEMU

Hi,
I'm Yash. I'm a 3rd year college undergraduate student, currently interning
in IIT Madras in Project Shakti. We have built RISC-V boards and  I have
been assigned the task to add these boards as machines to QEMU.
I am absolutely new to this and have no idea how to go about this. Please
help me out!
One way I can go about this is by modifying sifive code to fit my
requirements. Is that a viable option?

Thanks!
Yash Jain

Hey Yash,

That's great news! I'm glad to hear you want to contribute and I am
more then happy to help :)

Your best bet is to find something similar and copy that. For example
if your machine (SoC and board) is similar to the SiFive U, copy the
QEMU sifive_u model and make changes as required.

Let me know how you go and I will help where I can.

Do you have documentation on what your board is and what it supports?
