Bootloader recovery scripts for HiFive1 boards

Dependencies

To restore bootloader on your board you need programmer software. This is basically the same software that was mentioned in the riscv-rust-quickstart repo.

For HiFive1 Rev B: Segger JLink software & documentation pack for Linux

For HiFive1: OpenOCD from SiFive. You can also use a fresh upstream OpenOCD build (available as openocd-git in ArchLinux, for example).

Recovering the bootloader

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/riscv-rust/hifive1-recover
cd hifive1-recover

Alternatively, you can download it as a zip file and unpack:

wget https://github.com/riscv-rust/hifive1-recover/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd hifive1-recover-master

HiFive1 Rev B

Make sure JLinkExe is in path, otherwise add it:

PATH=$PATH:/path/to/JLink  # /tmp/JLink_Linux_V683b_x86_64, for example

Connect the board and run the recover script:

cd hifive1-revb
./recover

HiFive1

Make sure openocd is in path, otherwise add it:

PATH=$PATH:/path/to/riscv-openocd-0.10.0-2019.02.0-x86_64-linux-ubuntu14/bin

Connect the board and run the recover script:

cd hifive1
./recover
