Hi !

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

Feel free to fork and contribute

Hi,

I asked internally about this, and was directed to this link about NRF52 simulated board (BabbleSim), which simulates radio activity. It might not provide all necessary models for the HW peripherals, but if it's Bluetooth you want to emulate it should work fine. Please note that only the Zephyr LL supports running samples with nrf52_bsim.

Someone else had setup QEMU before, however it has been some time since they used it last, so they didn't recall exactly what they did. However, QEMU supports Cortex-M in general, and Cortex-M4 support in Zephyr is still on-going.

Hope this answers your question.

Best regards,

Marte

Hi Marte,

I was looking for any guidance on emulating nRF52840 chipset using QEMU or any other tools. If anyone from nordic tried creating emulator for nRF52 using QEMU or any other tools.

Thanks,

Nikhil

Hi Nikhil,

I'm afraid that we don't have any Unit Test Framework, or software to emulate the nRF52840 on PC to share.

Best regards,

Marte

You may use simulator like below:

But the system related to hardware will be abnormal. Maybe will run in infinity loop.
