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.
|
|

========
|
|
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
|
