The landscape of Machine Learning software libraries and models is evolving rapidly, and to satisfy the ever-increasing demand for memory and compute while managing latency, power and security considerations, hardware must be developed in an iterative process alongside the workloads it is meant to run.

After a longer while, we are excited to announce that the next release of Renode is here. Since the previous release we’ve been busy working with many customers and partners, including Google, Microchip and Betrusted, on various use cases, all of which led to numerous improvements, as well as new features, that are now available in our simulation framework.

The Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity standard has gained immense popularity in recent years, mainly due to the growing ubiquity of IoT solutions in both consumer electronics and industry. Thanks to its low-power nature, it is widely used in healthcare (e.g. in blood pressure monitors), wearables, and smart home appliances. To enable product BLE development and testing, Antmicro implemented support for the protocol in Renode, our open source software development framework, with the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840 SoC as the first platform with a BLE-capable Renode radio model.

Our open source Renode simulator has been helping our customers develop products using ARM, RISC‑V and - recently - Xtensa-based SoCs, providing hardware-software co-development and CI-driven testing capabilities for a variety of real product development projects. One of such projects, previously described on our blog, is Betrusted’s Precursor, an FPGA-based, fully open source, transparent and secure communication device based (among other things) on two interconnected RISC‑V CPUs.

Antmicro is actively involved in developing advanced applications, which may involve multiple subsystems communicating with each other, variable device configurations and various communication protocols. To handle such solutions, we often use the ROS (Robot Operating System) framework. It allows the developer to wrap the application’s subsystems in separate programs, called nodes. Nodes can communicate with each other in a publisher-subscriber (one-to-one) and client-service (one-to-one) manner. It helps create complex applications in a lean and modular way. Read more
