I had a crack at this awhile ago and you can see the patches here (I just rebased them): https://github.com/alistair23/qemu/tree/mainline/alistair/sifive_spi.next Debugging failures was really hard in Linux, but now that U-Boot and Oreboot (https://github.com/oreboot/oreboot/pull/234) have SPI support it is probably easier to debug. If you wanted to help you could try to debug that branch and figure out why it isn't working.

Question: SiFive U SPI and SD
Hello! I am trying to make an SD card working on the sifive_u (hw/riscv/sifive_u.c) SoC machine. As far as I understand there is no way to connect an SD card to the SoC with cmdline for now. So, I started to dig in to the QEMU internals and especially sifive_u SoC implementation to try to understand how I could connect SD card to this SoC. >From what I understood I need to: 1) Implement SiFive U SPI controller. 2) Implement spi-sd adapter in a way like the hw/sd/ssi-sd.c Probably I should merge 1) and 2) into one hw/riscv/sifive_u_spi.c source file. Could somebody correct me please if I am wrong at some point? I am newbie in the QEMU internals :) The purpose is why I want to implement this is to boot up the Linux kernel on '-machine sifive_u' and load rootfs from SD. -- Thanks, Nikita B8 00 4C CD 21
