emulator-hal

A set of traits for interfacing between emulated hardware devices

Design Goals

• Must be useable using fully static code, to allow maximum performance for simple static emulators, and test components

• Must be able to create a trait object from these traits, to allow maximum modularity for complex emulators

• Must be minimal, to abstract the most common parts needed to build an emulator, without trying to support all possible extended features

• Make it possible to abstract CPU, memory, and peripheral emulation implementations that can be reused between different emulator ecosystems

• Support use in no_std where it makes sense, to allow component reuse on embedded platforms that emulate other hardware

Out of Scope

• a complete framework for constructing an emulator. Instead these are the glue between library components that make up an emulator
