code simulation and testing without hardware kit

[Y0g1]

Hi

I am working as a member of a team owning nrf9160 dk. I want to work remotely with the same hardware they have. but right now I do not have physical access to the hardware. is there any way to simulate and test the code before sending them? if yes how can I do that??

one more thing is how can I transfer the dumping file to the team so they can program it and check it. kindly share the procedure for the same and help me to solve the issues.

Hi,

Using QEMU(look at this example) might be the closest you can get to working with the device without access to the hardware. Take a look at this case https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/34127/tips-for-cmsis-dsp-simulation, this https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/66137/nrf-connect-sdk-compile-and-run-qemu-in-clion/270490#270490 might be an alternatives.  


Or remote desktop to a computer with a nrf9160DK connected.

Thanks for this quick reply i am checking out qemu if it helps me out.

Hi !

I just started emulating the basic nRF52832 peripherals (apart from the radio), but TWIM, SPIM, GPIOTE and GPIO seem to work:
