MCUboot Simulator
#################
This is a small simulator designed to exercise the mcuboot upgrade
code, specifically testing untimely reset scenarios to make sure the
code is robust.
Prerequisites
=============
The simulator is written in Rust_, and you will need to install it to
build it. The installation_ page describes this process. The
simulator can be built with the stable release of Rust.
.. _Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org/
.. _installation: https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/install.html
Building
========
Once Rust is installed, build cargo by::
$ cargo build --release
this should download and compile the necessary dependencies, compile
the relevant modules from mcuboot, and build the simulator. The
resulting executable will be placed in ``./target/release/bootsim``
and can be run directly::
$ ./target/release/bootsim run --device k64f
Calling with ``--help`` will give a more thorough usage.
Debugging
=========
If the simulator indicates a failure, you can turn on additional
logging by setting ``RUST_LOG=warn`` or ``RUST_LOG=error`` in the
environment::
$ RUST_LOG=warn ./target/release/bootsim run ...
