Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
This board configuration will use `Designware ARC nSIM`_ to emulate a virtual
|
|
ARC EM based board including the following features:
|
|
|
|
* ARC EM processor
|
|
* ARC internal timer
|
|
* a virtual output only console (uart-nsim)
|
|
|
|
There are two sub configurations in board:
|
|
|
|
* nsim_em which includes normal em features and ARC MPUv2
|
|
* nsim_sem which includes secure em features and ARC MPUv3
|
|
|
|
For detailed arc features, please refer to
|
|
:file:`boards/arc/nsim_em/support/nsim_em.props` and
|
|
:file:`boards/arc/nsim_em/support/nsim_sem.props`.

Programming and Debugging
|
|
*************************
|
|
|
|
Required Hardware and Software
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
To use Zephyr RTOS applications on this board, `Designware ARC nSIM`_ or
|
|
`Designware ARC nSIM Lite`_ is required.
|
|
|
|
Building Sample Applications
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Use this configuration to run basic Zephyr applications and kernel tests in
|
|
nSIM, for example, with the :ref:`synchronization_sample`:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/synchronization
|
|
:host-os: unix
|
|
:board: nsim_em
|
|
:goals: flash
|
|
|
|
This will build an image with the synchronization sample app, boot it using
|
|
nsim, and display the following console output:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
