Star64 JH7110 and NuttX RTOS: RISC-V Semihosting and Initial RAM Disk

Happy to see this futzing around on a JH7110 based board! :-)

Because this SoC is used on 3 boards that I'm aware of:

  StarFive VisionFive 2
  Star64
  Milk-V Mars

(please add if I missed any)

All friendly priced, similar specced, and possibly more to follow? Turning many issues affecting these boards into a kind of 'smart cow' problem: fix some issue, and chances are it will trivially translate to other JH7110 based boards.

Not that I'm advocating to see this SoC everywhere! But having more affordable, Linux capable RISC-V boards in the hands of developers, should provide a nice boost for the ecosystem.

(and bringing up a RTOS like NuttX shouldn't hurt attempts to bring up other OSes - whatever flavour)

Yep indeed! The internals of these boards (and PineTab-V) are quite similar. Hopefully my work will show that it's not that hard to roll out our own OS on JH7110 boards.
