How to get Renode?

Please refer to our installation instructions in the Renode README.

For Linux users, we recommend obtaining the portable nightly build or installing Renode via the renode-run Python package.

Packages for other OSes can be found on builds.renode.io.

Setup Zephyr

Some of the presented scenarios require you to use Zephyr's west tool and to have the Zephyr SDK installed.

To set them up, follow the Zephyr Getting Started Guide.

renode-zephyr-tech-talk's Issues

Tests don't seem to run using Twister

When trying to execute the tests using Twister, the test configurations only seem to get built without actually running the tests:
