Hi, I'm having a hell of a time trying to create a new SoC+Board model from scratch. The problem comes down to trying to expose some properties to the underlying CPU from my board model. So I have:
static const TypeInfo pipico_machine_types[] = { { .name = TYPE_PIPICO_MACHINE, .parent = TYPE_MACHINE, .instance_size = sizeof(PiPicoMachineState), .class_size = sizeof(PiPicoMachineClass), .class_init = pipico_machine_class_init, } }; and the class init sets: MachineClass *mc = MACHINE_CLASS(oc); ... mc->desc = g_strdup_printf("Raspberry Pi Pico"); mc->init = pipico_machine_init; ... and finally when I init the machine I do the following: static void pipico_machine_init(MachineState *machine) { PiPicoMachineState *s = PIPICO_MACHINE(machine); ... MemoryRegion *system_memory = get_system_memory(); ... /* initialize external Flash device */ memory_region_init_rom(&s->flash, NULL, "pico.flash0", 256 * KiB, &error_fatal); memory_region_add_subregion(system_memory, 0, &s->flash); /* Setup the SOC */ object_initialize_child(OBJECT(machine), "soc", &s->soc, TYPE_RP2040); /* link properties from machine the SoC needs */ object_property_set_link(OBJECT(&s->soc), "memory", OBJECT(system_memory), &error_fatal); sysbus_realize(SYS_BUS_DEVICE(&s->soc), &error_fatal); The initialisation of the SoC is simple because I can't do much until things are realised: static void rp2040_init(Object *obj) { RP2040State *s = RP2040(obj); int n; fprintf(stderr, "%s: %p\n", __func__, obj); for (n = 0; n < RP2040_NCPUS; n++) { object_initialize_child(obj, "cpu[*]", &s->armv7m[n], TYPE_ARMV7M); qdev_prop_set_string(DEVICE(&s->armv7m[n]), "cpu-type", ARM_CPU_TYPE_NAME("cortex-m0")); } } However when I get to realize the SoC itself: static void rp2040_realize(DeviceState *dev, Error **errp) { RP2040State *s = RP2040(dev); Object *obj = OBJECT(dev); int n; if (!s->board_memory) { error_setg(errp, "%s: memory property was not set", __func__); return; } /* initialize internal 16 KB internal ROM */ memory_region_init_rom(&s->rom, obj, "rp2040.rom0", 16 * KiB, errp); memory_region_add_subregion(s->board_memory, 0, &s->rom); /* SRAM (Main 256k bank + two 4k banks)*/ memory_region_init_ram(&s->sram03, obj, "rp2040.sram03", 256 * KiB, errp); memory_region_add_subregion(s->board_memory, RP2040_SRAM_BASE, &s->sram03); memory_region_init_ram(&s->sram4, obj, "rp2040.sram4", 4 * KiB, errp); memory_region_add_subregion(s->board_memory, RP2040_SRAM4_BASE, &s->sram4); memory_region_init_ram(&s->sram5, obj, "rp2040.sram5", 4 * KiB, errp); memory_region_add_subregion(s->board_memory, RP2040_SRAM5_BASE, &s->sram5); ... for (n = 0; n < RP2040_NCPUS; n++) { /* DeviceState *cpudev = DEVICE(&s->armv7m[i]); */ Object *cpuobj = OBJECT(&s->armv7m[n]); object_property_set_link(cpuobj, "memory", OBJECT(&s->board_memory), errp); And this passing of the link down to the CPU I segfault: rp2040_init: 0x555556d08710 Thread 1 "qemu-system-arm" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. object_get_canonical_path_component (obj=0x555556d0ea28) at ../../qom/object.c:1999 1999 g_hash_table_iter_init(&iter, obj->parent->properties); (gdb) bt #0 object_get_canonical_path_component (obj=0x555556d0ea28) at ../../qom/object.c:1999 #1 0x0000555555fb27ea in object_get_canonical_path (obj=0x555556d0ea28) at ../../qom/object.c:2025 #2 0x0000555555fb1250 in object_property_set_link (obj=0x555556d087a0, name=0x5555563190a2 "memory", value=0x555556d0ea28, errp=0x7fffffffe0f0) at ../../qom/object.c:1445 #3 0x0000555555cf3c23 in rp2040_realize (dev=0x555556d08710, errp=0x7fffffffe0f0) at ../../hw/arm/rp2040.c:85 #4 0x0000555555fa9323 in device_set_realized (obj=0x555556d08710, value=true, errp=0x7fffffffe200) at ../../hw/core/qdev.c:532 #5 0x0000555555fb300d in property_set_bool (obj=0x555556d08710, v=0x555556dced10, name=0x5555563822b9 "realized", opaque=0x555556a3a6d0, errp=0x7fffffffe200) at ../../qom/object.c:2268 #6 0x0000555555fb1054 in object_property_set (obj=0x555556d08710, name=0x5555563822b9 "realized", v=0x555556dced10, errp=0x7fffffffe200) at ../../qom/object.c:1403 #7 0x0000555555fb53ff in object_property_set_qobject (obj=0x555556d08710, name=0x5555563822b9 "realized", value=0x555556e79bc0, errp=0x555556918de0 <error_fatal>) at ../../qom/qom-qobject.c:28 #8 0x0000555555fb13b9 in object_property_set_bool (obj=0x555556d08710, name=0x5555563822b9 "realized", value=true, errp=0x555556918de0 <error_fatal>) at ../../qom/object.c:1472 #9 0x0000555555fa8beb in qdev_realize (dev=0x555556d08710, bus=0x555556d0f240, errp=0x555556918de0 <error_fatal>) at ../../hw/core/qdev.c:334 #10 0x00005555559f0e28 in sysbus_realize (dev=0x555556d08710, errp=0x555556918de0 <error_fatal>) at ../../hw/core/sysbus.c:256 #11 0x0000555555cf3f0e in pipico_machine_init (machine=0x555556d08600) at ../../hw/arm/raspi_pico.c:74 #12 0x00005555559ed71b in machine_run_board_init (machine=0x555556d08600) at ../../hw/core/machine.c:1184 #13 0x0000555555e67f2c in qemu_init_board () at ../../softmmu/vl.c:2655 #14 0x0000555555e6814a in qmp_x_exit_preconfig (errp=0x555556918de0 <error_fatal>) at ../../softmmu/vl.c:2743 #15 0x0000555555e6a811 in qemu_init (argc=3, argv=0x7fffffffe6b8, envp=0x7fffffffe6d8) at ../../softmmu/vl.c:3778 #16 0x0000555555884ebd in main (argc=3, argv=0x7fffffffe6b8, envp=0x7fffffffe6d8) at ../../softmmu/main.c:49 So have I discovered a bug in QOM handling or misunderstood the way properties are meant to be shared from the main machine to the underlying CPU? Follow-up questions, does only creating the main memory aliases as part of the SoC make sense? My rational is most of the memory is part of the SoC not the board. I assume later RP2040 based boards may have different flash configs or even external memory.
