   CMake toolchain file for riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc targeting rv32imc_zicsr/ilp32.

 ports/risc-v32/gnu/example_build/core_v_mcu/ -- Full BSP + demo application:

Assembly
     crt0.S                     C runtime startup (BSS clear, GP/SP init, call main)
     vectors.S                  32-entry vectored interrupt table at 0x1c000800
     tx_initialize_low_level.S  mtvec setup (vectored mode), stack/free-mem pointers

BSP drivers (bsp/)

     uart_driver.c        UDMA UART channel 0 -- polled TX, non-blocking RX (8-bit transfer width)
     gpio.c               PULP apb_gpiov2 driver: set/clear/toggle/direction by pin index;
                          pad-mux via per-pad indexed registers at APB_SOC_CTRL + 0x400 + pad*4;
                          full pinmux API (gpio_setpinmux, gpio_getpinmux, gpio_pin_set_dir,

Application
     demo_threadx.c   Two threads: LED[0] blink at 1 Hz (IO pad 11, GPIO pin 4, MUX=2)
                      + UART heartbeat with startup banner
                      ("Eclipse ThreadX for OpenHW CORE-V MCU vX.Y.Z.BBBBB")

     build.sh         One-shot CMake+Ninja build script

Tooling
     install_deps.sh               Automates toolchain/OpenOCD dependency setup
     deploy.sh                      One-step GDB flashing via Ashling Opella-LD;
                                           gdb-multiarch fallback when riscv64-unknown-elf-gdb is absent;
                                           supports --wsl flag required by usbipd-win v5.x
     openocd-nexys-Ashling-Opella-LD.cfg   OpenOCD config for Opella-LD over JTAG

Tests (tests/)
     test_irq.c / test_timer.c   Host-compiled unit tests (2/2 pass)
     mock/mmio_mock.*             Software MMIO register map for host testing

Documentation
     README.md   Hardware overview, build, flash/debug, BSP API reference

 Architecture notes
 ------------------
 - CV32E40P uses the PULP/PULPissimo interrupt controller (not CLINT); IRQ lines
   are masked via APB registers, not the mie CSR.
 - mtvec must be 256-byte aligned; vectors placed at 0x1c000800 (vectored mode).
 - Timer IRQ = line 10; dispatch via isr_table[mcause & 0x1f].
 - Build: -march=rv32imc_zicsr -mabi=ilp32, -ffreestanding, -nodefaultlibs.
 - Verified: ELF 11 KB text, sections at correct addresses, unit tests pass.
