Using the NRF52840 Zephyr applications with Renode

I agree :) That many warnings on a working sample makes it really daunting to tackle actual issues with the platform. It would be nice if the Renode developers could have pointed us in the right direction. They don't seem to respond to issues posted on their GIT repo.

Thanks for trying it out! And yep, that pretty much sums up what I also experienced.

Maybe in Nordic's Zephyr fork there are other registers used which renode did not implement yet. According to this blog "keeping a very clean fork of Zephyr, almost free of downstream changes" it should be a tiny detail which Susheel Nuguru might have heard of.

All-in-all what we are trying here seems to be the bleeding-edge :) Especially when you consider the many warnings you get with a working renode run.

For some reason, when I attempt to use the Nordic Zephyr samples for 802.15.4 or BLE, Renode seems to get stuck in an endless resetting cycle

Hi Christian. Regarding BLE, I could only utilze P2P connections such as the heartrate samples in Zephyr (Central_HR and Peripheral_HR). I used the main Zephyr Repo with Renode. I assume the mesh BLE samples do not work due to unimplemented Registers in Renode.

Hi you two,

did you have the chance to reproduce for an arbitrary BLE example a working (z) and a non-working (n) run?

FYI: I am currently forced to move forward with the Zephyr-only BLE stack to have any chance of working in continuous integration style.

Thanks for this Christian, I will try to run your demo on my end aswell. it is great to see that you have BLE working.

RE: Using the NRF52840 Zephyr applications with Renode

BChetty — Fri, 14 Oct 2022 16:54:40 GMT

Thank you. I will definately look into it.

RE: Using the NRF52840 Zephyr applications with Renode

Christian Anton — Fri, 14 Oct 2022 16:00:27 GMT

Not really. Since you asked I've compiled and run the echo server example within Renode. At least some printk output can be seen.

FYI: I've bundled the "one-script" install here if you'd like to experiment. With this you could also create two west repositories like I did above. For this exchange ...

./run west init .. --mr $ZEPHYR_SRC_VER

with

./run west init .. -m github.com/.../sdk-nrf --mr v2.1.0

Hi Christian, glad to hear you got the ble sample working via docker. Have you tested the 802.15.4 stack on Renode by any chance?

RE: Using the NRF52840 Zephyr applications with Renode

Christian Anton — Thu, 13 Oct 2022 13:52:18 GMT

Yes, definitely!

Sorry for the late response. From tomorrow onward and the next weeks I'll be focusing again on this topic. Hence, any time. I guess you have access to my email address. FYI: The demo now runs in an interactive docker container whose "one-click" install I am willing to share after some generalization.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi,

Renode is a bit new for us,

Can we have a chat or short talk on teams to discuss what you are doing here?

RE: Using the NRF52840 Zephyr applications with Renode

Helfried — Tue, 27 Sep 2022 09:18:38 GMT

Dear Susheel,

I will step in for my colleague Chris. Our target platform is the nRF52840 as used in the BLE heartrate sample linked by Chris.

We appreciate any help on this matter.

Best regards,
Helfried

Susheel Nuguru — Mon, 19 Sep 2022 11:27:10 GMT

Thanks for the info Christian, The (z) and (n) results are very interesting.

It would be also interesting to know which Bluetooth LE Controller you have been using?

RE: Using the NRF52840 Zephyr applications with Renode

Christian Anton — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 12:08:45 GMT

Hi there,

I am having similar requirements and troubles while trying to set up a reusable CI development container based on snippets from nrf-docker, zephyr-docker and renode-docker.

What I could figure out so far:
Building the BLE heartrate sample
* (z) produces printk-uart output in renode with setup west init --mr "v3.1.0"
* (n) but does not when having setup west init -m github.com/.../sdk-nrf --mr "v2.1.0" (or v2.0.2)

Furthermore, simply building the hello_world sample produces printk output with both setups (z) and (n). But as soon as you set prj.conf -> CONFIG_BT=y then the simulated image build with (n) has no more output.

When comparing the build outputs we get
* (z) Zephyr version: 3.1.0-rc1 (/zephyrdev/zephyr) and
* (n) Zephyr version: v3.1.99-ncs1 (/zephyrdev/zephyr) respectively

So I am assuming that there might be some nRF-specific customization to the Zephyr source code which creates BLE-incompatibilities in renode.

I'll keep you posted if I can figure out some more.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Simon

Thank you for responding again. The webinar was very interesting but sadly it did not help me to resolve my issue.

A detailed summary of the issue was posted on the Renode github webpage:

https://github.com/renode/renode/issues/373

As for logging errors on the emulated node, there are 2 issues which I believe may be of concern:

1. Unhandled write to NVIC

2. Failed to register and unregister PPI (This seems to be a common error which normally doesn't affect the application).

RE: Using the NRF52840 Zephyr applications with Renode

Simonr — Wed, 07 Sep 2022 06:32:45 GMT

Hi again

What we have is rather limited I'm afraid, but did you check out the webinar we have on our Youtube channel that explains how to use Renode with the nRF52840? I will also ask our test developers internally if they have any information on what could be causing this. Please upload any logging information from the emulated node that you think might be useful.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon

Thank you for your response.

On Renode's emulator, the nRF52840 (emulated node) is not transmitting any packets. I am sure I set up Wireshark correctly on Renode. My renode .resc file is shown below

:name: test_nrf52840

########################## UDP CLIENT - end ##########################

emulation LogIEEE802_15_4Traffic

When running the built in sample scripts in Renode (quark-c1000-zephyr), I can view 6LowPan packets off wireshark. I did configure Renode to sniff 802.15.4 and not BLE (emulation LogIEEE802_15_4Traffic - Renode)

The application works (Zephyr Echo_Server/Client with 802.15.4 or openthread overlay) on actual dev kits, but it does not work on the Renode Emulator.

The issue seems to be either a compatibility issue or configuration issue between Zephyr and Renode. I assume I am missing some simple config but I tried to get in touch with the renode dev team but they didn't respond and I couldn't find solutions on the internet, so that's why I am posting here.

If you have any suggestions on how I should proceed, it will be truly appreciated.

Regards

Brenton

Hi Brenton

Have you confirmed whether it is the nRF52840 not transmitting at all or if it's the Wireshark sniffer that's not picking up the data correctly? So the application is working as intended on DKs, but not on custom boards, is that correct?

Also, I'm not too familiar with the Renode, but in the blog post you linked to the Wireshark application is only mentioning analyzing Bluetooth LE traffic, so the first thing I would make sure is that you actually log the 802.15.4 traffic and not just BLE traffic. I guess this guide should tell you how to use either: https://renode.readthedocs.io/en/latest/networking/wireshark.html
