Building on top of the flexibility that was the original premise of Renode, our open source simulation framework has for some years now been used for pre-silicon development, architectural exploration and hardware-software co-design. Read more

Renode is an open-source hardware simulation framework developed by Antmicro. Thanks to its modularity and configurability it can simulate a wide range of platforms and run different kinds of software, ranging from simple bare-metal or small RTOS-based applications consisting of a single, self-contained binary, up to full-blown Linux-based setups. The challenge of running more complex simulations lies in the number of components that you need to prepare, configure and (most probably) update in subsequent iterations. Read more

Renode is an open source software development framework which allows its users to run a multitude of operating systems and software on a range of embedded platforms, from ARM, LEON, POWER to RISC‑V. At Antmicro, we work with most popular open source RTOSs and frameworks, but as a Platinum Member of the Zephyr Project, we are especially happy to enable a wider and easier adoption of this vendor neutral RTOS, as well as improving its testing and CI capabilities, with Renode.

Development of Machine Learning algorithms which enable new and exciting applications is progressing at a breakneck pace, and - given the long turnaround time of hardware development - the designers of dedicated hardware accelerators are struggling to keep up. FPGAs offer an interesting alternative to ASICs, enabling a much faster and more flexible environment for such HW-SW co-development - and with projects such as the FPGA interchange format, Antmicro has been turning the FPGA ecosystem to be ever more open and software driven.

Co-simulation is extremely useful for developing complex systems, especially those targeting FPGA SoCs, where specialized IP cores often interact with advanced software running on the hard CPU. Co-simulation has been available in Renode for quite a while now and we are constantly adding more and more features as well as ready-to-use peripherals. This is necessary for the work we are doing with our customers related to silicon prototyping, advanced video device development Read more
