ARM Cortex-M0 Emulation (QEMU)
##############################
Overview
********
This board configuration will use QEMU to emulate the
BBC Microbit (Nordic nRF51822) platform.
This configuration provides support for an ARM Cortex-M0 CPU and these devices:
* Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller
* TIMER (nRF TIMER System Clock)
.. note::
This board configuration makes no claims about its suitability for use
with an actual nRF51 Microbit hardware system, or any other hardware system.
Hardware
********
Supported Features
==================
The following hardware features are supported:
+--------------+------------+----------------------+
| Interface | Controller | Driver/Component |
+==============+============+======================+
| NVIC | on-chip | nested vectored |
| | | interrupt controller |
+--------------+------------+----------------------+
| nRF | on-chip | serial port |
| UART | | |
+--------------+------------+----------------------+
| nRF TIMER | on-chip | system clock |
+--------------+------------+----------------------+
The kernel currently does not support other hardware features on this platform.
Devices
========
System Clock
------------
This board configuration uses a system clock frequency of 1 MHz.
Serial Port
-----------
This board configuration uses a single serial communication channel with the
CPU's UART0.
Known Problems or Limitations
==============================
The following platform features are unsupported:
* Writing to the hardware's flash memory
Programming and Debugging
*************************
Use this configuration to run basic Zephyr applications and kernel tests in the QEMU
emulated environment, for example, with the :zephyr:code-sample:`synchronization` sample:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/synchronization
:host-os: unix
:board: qemu_cortex_m0
:goals: run
This will build an image with the synchronization sample app, boot it using
QEMU, and display the following console output:
.. code-block:: console
