Accelerating Renode simulation on Linux-based x86-64 machines with KVM support

Accelerating Renode simulation on Linux-based x86-64 machines with KVM support

Antmicro's open source Renode simulation framework executes code using binary translation - if you run a Cortex-M target on your typical Linux, you need to translate the Arm-M instruction set to x86-64. However, if you want to simulate an x86 platform and you're running on a host with matching architecture, there should be no need to translate anything - you could just run the code of the guest payload.

Simulating low-power mesh IoT systems in Renode with Silicon Labs Wireless Gecko Series 2

Simulating low-power mesh IoT systems in Renode with Silicon Labs Wireless Gecko Series 2

Silicon Labs' 32-bit ARM Cortex-M33-based Wireless Gecko Series 2 SoCs have been available in Renode for a while now. Some time ago, thanks to the collaboration between Antmicro and Silicon Labs, this support has been extended to cover their 2.4 GHz multi-protocol radio connectivity functionality, allowing you to develop and test complex networks of low-power IoT devices built around the popular chip family in Antmicro's flagship open source simulation framework.

Renode integration with MPACT-Cheriot for secure IoT systems simulation

Renode integration with MPACT-Cheriot for secure IoT systems simulation

The Capability Hardware Extension to RISC‑V for Internet of Things (CHERIoT) project provides a hardware platform built around a modified RISC‑V Ibex core, designed for enhanced security through limited access of executed applications to individual components of the system. Developed by a group of commercial and university partners, it implements CHERI (Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions) for the RISC‑V ISA. Read more
