Simple example of how to use Renode together with Robot Framework to emulate and test firmware on a host PC without the target hardware.
The project builds for an STM32
NUCLEO-F446RE development board.
The default repl (REnode PLatform) file for this board has been modified to
include the blue user button functionality. Pressing and releasing this button
toggles one of the on-board LEDs.
- GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain 10-2020-q4-major
- GNU Make 4.2.1
- Renode 1.14.0
- STM32CubeMX 6.8.1 (for initial project setup only)
After installing the required packages on your machine (consider using the
provided Dockerfile together with the
Dev Containers extension
for VS Code), you can build the project by running:
cd nucleo-f446re/ButtonLed
makeThis should create the compiled binaries under the
nucleo-f446re/ButtonLed/build directory.
After building the binaries, run the following command from the main directory to test for the expected behavior:
renode-test tests/test-button.robotSample output from GitHub Actions after the test has run successfully:
