RuyiSDK Getting Started Example

This example can be compiled and run directly on the development board, making it suitable for beginners.

Install the ruyi package manager (see the official installation guide for other methods)

sudo apt update; sudo apt install -y wget tar zstd xz-utils git build-essential
 
wget https://mirror.iscas.ac.cn/ruyisdk/ruyi/tags/0.51.0/ruyi-0.51.0.riscv64
chmod +x ./ruyi-0.51.0.riscv64
sudo cp -v ./ruyi-0.51.0.riscv64 /usr/local/bin/ruyi

Install the GCC and LLVM toolchains

ruyi update
ruyi install gnu-plct llvm-plct

Hello World (GCC)

Create and activate the ruyi virtual environment (GCC)

ruyi venv -t toolchain/gnu-plct manual venv-gnu-plct
. venv-gnu-plct/bin/ruyi-activate

Verify the GCC version

riscv64-plct-linux-gnu-gcc -v

Compile and run Hello World (GCC)

cat > hello.c << 'EOF'
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("Hello, World!\n");
    return 0;
}
EOF

riscv64-plct-linux-gnu-gcc hello.c -o hello-gcc
./hello-gcc

Under normal circumstances, the terminal displays output similar to:

user@starfive:~/hello$ . venv-gnu-plct/bin/ruyi-activate
«Ruyi venv-gnu-plct» user@starfive:~/hello$ riscv64-plct-linux-gnu-gcc hello.c -o hello-gcc
«Ruyi venv-gnu-plct» user@starfive:~/hello$ ./hello-gcc
Hello, World!
«Ruyi venv-gnu-plct» user@starfive:~/hello$

Exit the ruyi GCC virtual environment

cd ..; ruyi-deactivate

Hello World (LLVM)

Create and activate the ruyi virtual environment (LLVM)

ruyi venv -t toolchain/llvm-plct manual --sysroot-from gnu-plct venv-llvm-plct
. venv-llvm-plct/bin/ruyi-activate

Verify the LLVM version

clang -v

Compile and run Hello World (LLVM)

clang hello.c -o hello-llvm; ./hello-llvm

Under normal circumstances, the terminal displays output similar to:

user@starfive:~/hello$ . venv-llvm-plct/bin/ruyi-activate
«Ruyi venv-llvm-plct» user@starfive:~/hello$ clang hello.c -o hello-llvm
«Ruyi venv-llvm-plct» user@starfive:~/hello$ ./hello-llvm
Hello, World!
«Ruyi venv-llvm-plct» user@starfive:~/hello$

Exit the ruyi LLVM virtual environment

cd ..; ruyi-deactivate
