Unit testing and emulating hardware

[faikab]

Hello,

We are trying to set up unit testing for our project however had trouble running it on the nrf51 board and decided to run it natively on a windows platform.

My question is what is the best unit testing framework for nrf51 projects? We are currently trying to use unity & CMock.

is there an emulator for the NRF51? Which emulator is the best one to use?

We also use the S130 soft device

Regards, Faisal

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

Bjørn

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

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?
