nRF52 is nicely covered using Unity (throwtheswitch) and https://jumper.io

It's an emulator that's tailored for test automation with continuous integration.

You are correct, we run the unit tests on actual hardware or FPGAs.

Great thanks, and im guessing you dont use an emulator internally you run it on the actual hardware? or do you simply emulate the cortex processer?

I am afraid that I do not know what the majority of our customers use for unit testing, but I know that we use Unity and CMock internally.

Thanks for the post, I saw it but guessed things could have changed since 2 years ago. So there is nothing official but what is the most popular that people use? I am having trouble running unit tests from windows because some commands are for ARM architecture only, thus windows does not recognize them.

I am afraid that we do not provide any Unit Test Framework in our SDK, but this feature has been requested and reported internally, see this answer.

I am not aware of any publicly available nRF51 emulators used for unit testing.

Best regards
