Hi Luisa,

 

You likely will not need a board to test functionality. In fact, a large amount of Zephyr development and Zephyr CI uses virtual hardware and / or native_posix.

The native_posix (or native_posix_64) targets have the advantage of being just regular Linux applications (unfortunately macOS is not yet supported), so it’s good for testing hardware-agnostic code like libraries.

For other purposes, I would suggest a Qemu target – e.g. qemu_x86_64, qemu_cortex_a53, …

You can run an individual sample app with, for example,
    west build -p auto -b qemu_x86_64 -t run samples/hello_world

if you would like to debug the sample app, then use
    west build -p auto -b qemu_x86_64 -t debugserver samples/hello_world

and then hit F5 in VS Code. See my launch.json file below for reference [1].

For running an entire suite of tests, you can use
    twister -p qemu_x86_64 -T tests/kernel

For more real-time support, I would very much suggest getting on the Discord server.

Cheers,

C

Dear Chris,

Thank you very much for your suggestions. Unfortunately, I had some troubles with my laptop in the last weeks - should be solved now.

I still have a question though: do you think I will need a board to test the functionality - even though it is a software issue?

I read the documentation, but could not find anything regarding boards' emulation nor anything similar.

Best,

Luisa Cicolini
