Renode is Antmicro's open source, multi-architecture hardware simulator that has been helping our customers to develop countless complex hardware models over the years. Renode allows you to run the same software you would use on real hardware. To achieve this, it provides users with a multitude of built-in models of boards and SoCs, which mimic their physical counterparts. To give users even more customization options, we have developed support for multi-core CPUs having access to different devices under the same bus addresses. There are many use cases for this feature, with the most prevalent being security. In this note, we will describe how we implemented the possibility to isolate address spaces within a single SoC for security and other use cases, as required by our customers' usage of Renode.

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.
