Add Nuclei RISC-V Processor Support

• This PR add Nuclei RISC-V Processor which use CLIC interrupt system instead of PLIC and CLINT interrupt system, check Nuclei RISC-V Processor Spec
• This PR is also using Nuclei NMSIS and SDK, see https://github.com/Nuclei-Software/NMSIS and
  https://github.com/Nuclei-Software/nuclei-sdk
• In this PR, the context switch is done using CLIC software interrupt
• For RISC-V CLIC spec, please check https://github.com/riscv/riscv-fast-interrupt/blob/master/clic.adoc
• To evaluate this support, Nuclei HummingBird RISC-V SoC is supported, please check https://nucleisys.com/developboard.php for this board introduction

How to use this PR

Here are steps used in Linux, similar steps could be done in Windows.

Prerequisites

• Get a Nuclei HummingBird FPGA evaluation board and program an Nuclei RISC-V Core, such as N200/N300/N600 series
• Download Nuclei Studio IDE from https://www.nucleisys.com/download.php

Assume you have extracted Nuclei Studio IDE into ~/NucleiStudio_IDE_202009, then you can open setup toolchain path before build program by command:

export PATH=$HOME/NucleiStudio_IDE_202009/NucleiStudio/toolchain/gcc/bin:$PATH

Build Project for Nuclei HummingBird Evaluation Board

1. cd /path/to/lk

2. make TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX=riscv-nuclei-elf- nuclei-hbird

3. Open Nuclei Studio IDE(~/NucleiStudio_IDE_202009/NucleiStudio/eclipse), and create a Nuclei SDK project for HummingBird SoC by following guidance here in Chinese

4. Open the debug configuration for that project and select executable using the build-nuclei-hbird/lk.elf, and download it and run it, here is the sample output.

Oh very neat! Very interesting.

The context switch thing we might have to work out a bit, but I'm always interested in new hardware.

[travisg]

Still looking at this one. Trouble is that context switch stuff is far too intrusive. Is it mandatory that the context switch be done via the CLIC? I'd love for this to look much more like the other riscv with the core kernel stuff.

[fanghuaqi]

Yes, it should be done via CLIC, since CLIC introduced, CORE will have exception and interrupt state, if we use current context switch, then we can't get out of interrupt state, which will affect normal interrupt handling.
