Maix Go / K210 stuff
Building the C projects
First, get the Kendryte C toolchain and copy or symlink the contents of the
src/ folder to a checkout of https://github.com/sipeed/LicheeDan_K210_examples.git.
Then to build a certain project do:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DPROJ=<ProjectName> -DTOOLCHAIN=/opt/riscv-toolchain/bin && make
You will get 2 files, build/<ProjectName> and build/<ProjectName>.bin. The former
is an ELF executable, the latter a raw binary that can be flashed or written to
0x80000000 in SRAM and directly executed.
Building the Rust projects
Target configuration is set up in .cargo/config, so building is a matter of:
cd rust/<name_of_project>
cargo build --release
This will produce an ELF executable in the workspace's target directory named
rust/target/riscv64gc-unknown-none-elf/release/<name_of_project>.
Running ELF
There is no need anymore to convert to raw binary, as ELF executables can be executed directly on the device (no flashing) using
kflash.py -t -s -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -B goE "${ELF_NAME}"
This works for both the C and Rust-produced executables. It is also possible to upload and run code on the device through JTAG and OpenOCD, but I have never done so myself.

Projects
This is a general random sandbox with silly projects for me to play around with the Maix Go, some are in C and some are in Rust.
glyph_mapping
Variation of the DVP sample that processes the camera input through a simple
DOS 8×8 font glyph-mapping algorithm and shows it on the display.
dump_otp
Dumps the contents of the OTP (One-Time Programmable memory) of the K210 CPU to serial output in Intel HEX format.
secp256k1_{tests,bench}
Run tests and benchmarks for the secp256k1 elliptic curve cryptographic library on this RISC-V CPU.
rust/k210-console
Console emulator written in Rust for the Maix Go.
Barely functional at the moment. This is really a test for some functionality like SPI and driving the display from Rust, and for playing with Rust RISC-V 64 in general.
rust/mandelbrot
Mandelbrot fractal zoom.
rust/game-of-life
"Game of life" cellular automata simulation. The state can be manipulated through the touch screen. The amount of pressure applied determines the radius of the state change.
ROM re'ing
Annotated radare2 config files for the Boot ROM and OTP can be found under r2.
Other projects
Some interesting K210-based projects and demos by other people:

accelerometer - Example of using the MSA300 accelerometer on the MAIX Go board, by GitJer
-
quake1 - Quake 1 on K210. Requires wiring up a PS2 controller.
-
