Add a sparc-unknown-none-elf target. # `sparc-unknown-none-elf` **Tier: 3** Rust for bare-metal 32-bit SPARC V7 and V8 systems, e.g. the Gaisler LEON3. ## Target maintainers - Jonathan Pallant, `jonathan.pallant@ferrous-systems.com`, https://ferrous-systems.com ## Requirements > Does the target support host tools, or only cross-compilation? Only cross-compilation. > Does the target support std, or alloc (either with a default allocator, or if the user supplies an allocator)? Only tested with `libcore` but I see no reason why you couldn't also support `liballoc`. > Document the expectations of binaries built for the target. Do they assume specific minimum features beyond the baseline of the CPU/environment/etc? What version of the OS or environment do they expect? Tested by linking with a standard SPARC bare-metal toolchain - specifically I used the [BCC2] toolchain from Gaisler (both GCC and clang variants, both pre-compiled for x64 Linux and compiling my own SPARC GCC from source to run on `aarch64-apple-darwin`). The target is set to use the lowest-common-denominator `SPARC V7` architecture (yes, they started at V7 - see [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARC#History)). [BCC2]: https://www.gaisler.com/index.php/downloads/compilers > Are there notable `#[target_feature(...)]` or `-C target-feature=` values that programs may wish to use? `-Ctarget-cpu=v8` adds the instructions added in V8. `-Ctarget-cpu=leon3` adds the V8 instructions and sets up scheduling to suit the Gaisler LEON3. > What calling convention does `extern "C"` use on the target? I believe this is defined by the SPARC architecture reference manuals and V7, V8 and V9 are all compatible. > What format do binaries use by default? ELF, PE, something else? ELF ## Building the target > If Rust doesn't build the target by default, how can users build it? Can users just add it to the `target` list in `config.toml`? Yes. I did: ```toml target = ["aarch64-apple-darwin", "sparc-unknown-none-elf"] ``` ## Building Rust programs > Rust does not yet ship pre-compiled artifacts for this target. To compile for this target, you will either need to build Rust with the target enabled (see "Building the target" above), or build your own copy of `core` by using `build-std` or similar. Correct. ## Testing > Does the target support running binaries, or do binaries have varying expectations that prevent having a standard way to run them? No - it's a bare metal platform. > If users can run binaries, can they do so in some common emulator, or do they need native hardware? But if you use [BCC2] as the linker, you get default memory map suitable for the LEON3, and a default BSP for the LEON3, and so you can run the binaries in the `tsim-leon3` simulator from Gaisler. ```console $ cat .cargo/config.toml | grep runner runner = "tsim-leon3 -c sim-commands.txt" $ cat sim-commands.txt run quit $ cargo +sparcrust run --targe=sparc-unknown-none-elf Compiling sparc-demo-rust v0.1.0 (/work/sparc-demo-rust) Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 3.44s Running `tsim-leon3 -c sim-commands.txt target/sparc-unknown-none-elf/debug/sparc-demo-rust` TSIM3 LEON3 SPARC simulator, version 3.1.9 (evaluation version) Copyright (C) 2023, Frontgrade Gaisler - all rights reserved.

I don't think so, the testsuite requires `libstd` IIRC. ## Cross-compilation toolchains and C code > Does the target support C code? Yes. > If so, what toolchain target should users use to build compatible C code? (This may match the target triple, or it may be a toolchain for a different target triple, potentially with specific options or caveats.) I suggest [BCC2] from Gaisler. It comes in both GCC and Clang variants. |
