CMake error “Variable 'KernelArch' is not set.” Happens when building RISCV based seL4 system.

Hi, I met a CMake error, “Variable KernelArch is not set” when I tried to build a seL4 project based on the open source code of the UNSW course, Advanced Operating System, aka. AOS. The original version uses odroidc2 as the building platform, and I want to build it with the riscv gnu toolchain and simulate it on qemu-riscv-virt. Here is the repository: https://github.com/SEL4PROJ/AOS-manifest The building hierachy is as the basic build system structure, with init-build.sh, setting.cmake and CMakeLists.txt in the top level. And the top level contains kernel, tools, and project folders, in which there are CMakeLists.txt and .cmake files. Since I have no experience on cmake, I tried to compare the manifest xml between AOS project and seL4test project. I found that the major difference between them are in “init-build.sh”, “setting.cmake” and the “CMakeList.txt” in the top level. There are also some unused libraries in AOS project. I tried deleting the “set PLATFORM odroidc2” command in the setting.cmake, and added the DCROSSCOMPILER=riscv-unknown-linux-gnu, DPLATFORM=qemu-riscv-virt in the build command. But they doesn’t work. After checking the “/kernel/configs/seL4Config.cmake”, it says that the error is caused since KernelArch is left as empty string… And I want to ask whether I have set anything improperly.... I will appreciate for any help. Thank you for reading my question!

Soft-float problem happens when building seL4test using riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc toolchain
by sueboxian＠gmail.com 15 Jul '23

Hi, I met a problem when building seL4test project with riscv toolchain, with the float operations compiled as soft-float. Here are my configuration commands:  python3 ~/bin/repo init -u https://github.com/seL4/sel4test-manifest  python3 ~/bin/repo sync  mkdir build-riscv  cd build-riscv  ../init-build.sh -DPLATFORM=qemu-riscv-virt -DCROSS_COMPILER_PREFIX=riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu- -DSIMULATION=TRUE  ninja The terminal reported "can't link double-float modules with soft-float modules" errors when compiling fpu.c, and thus stopped compilation. I have tried rebuilding the glibc version riscv toolchain, with multilib enabled. But it doesn't work. I also checked the terminal, it says that I'm compiling with march=riscv64imac_zicsr_zifencei -mabi=lp64, which as the best of my knowledge, means compiling the float as soft-float. I want to know whether I lossed something. I would appreciate for any help. Thanks in advance.
