Renode is an open source simulation framework enabling effortless and collaborative software development of embedded and IoT devices in a deterministic environment. A wide toolbox of features for debug, trace and experimentation make it extremely useful in interactive code development scenarios, but the full potential of the tool is revealed in a Continuous Integration environment. With Antmicro’s help, a number of organizations are currently adopting Renode to radically improve their testing and CI situation for developing their products. Read more

Throughout Renode’s history, our open source framework has been applied in a variety of use cases, some of them entirely expectable, given that the tool was initially created to cover embedded software development and testing needs, while others quite ingenious. Recently, a growing trend has seen Renode gain many users in education contexts, with the forced switch to distance learning as well as the general increase in popularity of online education making Renode’s ability to abstract out the physical component from edge device development a valuable asset.

As more and more companies, organizations and educational institutions are using Renode's hardware simulation and testing capabilities, we get a lot of questions along the lines of "Can I run my board in Renode and how complicated is it?" One such inquiry came our way in some pretty unique circumstances last year when we bumped into Xobs, one of the lead engineers behind the Precursor project, at the last Hackaday Superconference - back in the seemingly distant past when we still had in-person events!
