RISC-V support? #2296

tommythorn · 2020-04-24T15:57:53Z

Describe the problem you are trying to solve
rustup is wonderful, so it's sad it doesn't support RISC-V, I get "rustup: unknown CPU type: riscv64" which run on Ubuntu 20.04 (which has rustc, cargo, etc).

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like it to install the latest Rust

Notes
I used the Ubuntu image from https://github.com/carlosedp/riscv-bringup to issue the commands. I assume this is actually blocked on something on rust side, but I didn't see any issues tracking this.

One could investigate and add risv cpu type to

rustup/rustup-init.sh

Lines 228 to 296 in c022b92

Hmm, tried the obvious

tesuji · 2020-04-25T04:26:50Z

What is the full target triple of riscv?

tesuji · 2020-04-25T04:28:46Z

Does riscv has std? rustup depends on std.
Acording to https://forge.rust-lang.org/release/platform-support.html, riscv is bare metal
only.

tommythorn · 2020-04-25T05:41:19Z

I don't know what the convention calls for but poking around I found:

tommy@Ubuntu-riscv64:~$ rustc --print target-list|grep riscv
riscv32i-unknown-none-elf
riscv32imac-unknown-none-elf
riscv32imc-unknown-none-elf
riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu
riscv64gc-unknown-none-elf
riscv64imac-unknown-none-elf

I don't know how Canonical got their riscv rust binaries.

tommythorn · 2020-04-25T05:44:29Z

Changing the _cputype=riscv64gc I get

rustup: command failed: downloader https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu/rustup-init /tmp/tmp.PxoInJ2fwo/rustup-init

kinnison · 2020-04-26T19:34:35Z

There are multiple things at play here.

rustup-init.sh needs to know about riscv
rustup itself needs to be taught because otherwise it can't recognise it for toolchains (targets are a different matter)
rust-lang/rust needs to publish dockers for building targetting riscv
our CI needs updating to include riscv as a target
rust-lang/rust needs to publish a riscv toolchain, not just a std
and finally we can do a release of rustup including riscv linux

If people are serious about assisting with this, then perhaps we might put together a checklist and get it underway; though without support from the main rust-lang/rust repo for the docker and the compiler releases, there's not a lot we can do beyond preparing for the possiblity in the future.

tommythorn · 2020-04-27T16:56:57Z

Thanks, it was exactly a list like this I was hoping to see. Without a published toolchain there's not much point to the rest. IIUC, this is tracked by rust-lang/rust#62117 which I updated to point back here.

tblah · 2020-04-28T13:19:20Z

I have a WIP PR for this #2313

It isn't useful yet because there aren't official toolchains for a riscv host. However cross-compilation toolchains can be downloaded for a riscv target today (tested using rustup 1.21.1): see cross-rs/cross#413

kinnison · 2020-07-06T18:03:07Z

The completed riscvgc support was released today. I'd be interested to know if it works for you or not.

tommythorn · 2020-07-06T19:14:18Z

Thanks! The script seems to progress on my (fully up-to-date) Ubuntu RISC-V VM. However, it looks like we aren't there yet:

Current installation options:


   default host triple: riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu
     default toolchain: stable (default)
               profile: default

2) Customize installation
3) Cancel installation

error: target 'riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu' not found in channel.  Perhaps check https://forge.rust-lang.org/release/platform-support.html for available targets

riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu is listed under Tier 2 (does that imply not-stable?).

tommythorn · 2020-07-06T19:16:14Z

Taking option 2 and picking nightly didn't help:

kinnison · 2020-07-06T19:46:47Z

Okay so we're closer but still no cigar. @tblah Is this what you'd expect for now?

mati865 · 2020-07-06T20:08:10Z

Rustup for RISC-V won't work until rust-lang/rust#72973 is merged.

kinnison · 2020-07-06T21:18:54Z

Thanks for that @mati865

tblah · 2020-07-07T08:19:23Z

@tommythorn currently RISC-V is Tier 2 only for cross compilation. But as @mati865 said that may soon change to full support.

rust-lang/rust#72973 is waiting for rust-lang/compiler-team#312 to be approved. If there are no objections that could happen about 2 days from now.

After that rustup may need changing to point at the CI pipeline introduced in rust-lang/rust#72973

kinnison · 2020-07-07T08:34:31Z

@tblah By 'need changing' do you mean for the CI, or a point release being needed to use it?

tblah · 2020-07-07T08:39:15Z

@kinnison just CI if I understand correctly.

rust-lang/rust#72973 moves the RISC-V build to a new docker image so rustup needs to use that image too here

kinnison · 2020-07-07T08:51:38Z

I'll make sure to be subscribed to that PR then, though I hope one of the contributors here might get to PRing our CI before me :D

tommythorn · 2020-09-29T19:15:08Z

I'm afraid I lost track of where this is at.

I can see that rust-lang/rust#72973 was merged, rust-lang/compiler-team#312 was closed, and riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu is AFAICT listed as a supported platform in Tier 2 "riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu | ✓ | ✓ | RISC-V Linux (kernel 4.20, glibc 2.29) -- | -- | -- | --"

Launching rustup.sh (from https://sh.rustup.rs) in a Fedora RISC-V QEMU image leads to

...
info: profile set to 'default'
info: default host triple is riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu
info: syncing channel updates for 'stable-riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu'
info: latest update on 2020-08-27, rust version 1.46.0 (04488afe3 2020-08-24)
error: target 'riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu' not found in channel.  Perhaps check https://forge.rust-lang.org/release/platform-support.html for available targets

I wasn't immediately able to find out where rustup-init was reading (the manifest? from whence?) and not finding it.

tesuji · 2020-09-30T02:12:56Z

If it is host toolchain, we have to have riscv build for rustup, then wait until next rustup release.

tommythorn · 2020-09-30T03:58:28Z

I apologize for my ignorance. I poked around some more and discovered that there are indeed nightly builds for RISC-V and lo and behold rustup.sh --default-toolchain nightly worked, thus as far as I'm concerned this issue can be closed. Thank you!

tommythorn · 2020-09-30T17:50:17Z

Ok, no objections. Closing.
