Added demos and tests:

  • RTC mode unit test
  • Adafruit ItsyBitsy M4 Express Zephyr shell_module test

  • STM32F4 tests for RTC and running an STM32CubeMX app
  • Zynq tests for I2C, TTC, SPI flash, xSPI, and UART based on Linux

Added features:

  • support for RESD - Renode Sensor Data format, allowing users to provide multiple sensors with time-coordinated data specific for a given sensor; currently supported in MAX86171, MAX30208, AS6221, and LSM6DSO
  • reorganized CPU classes and interfaces, allowing for easier integration of external CPU simulators
  • IOMMU, with example usage in WindowIOMMU, WindowMMUBusController, and SimpleDMA
  • new key bindings in the Monitor: Ctrl+D for closing the window and Ctrl+U for clearing the current input
  • new key bindings in all terminal windows: Shift+Up/Down arrow for line scrolling and Shift+Home/End for jumping to the beginning and the end of the buffer
  • option to configure UART window location offsets via the config file
  • support for 64-bit bus accesses and 64-bit peripherals
  • support non-resettable peripheral registers and register fields
  • option to register hooks to be called whenever a RISC-V register is accessed - this can be used to emulate non-standard implementation of these registers
  • option to set CPU exceptions from the outside of the CPU
  • Robot keyword to verify that GPIO has a specified state for a given period of time
  • verbose mode in Robot tests

Changed:

  • Robot tests do not need a header with settings and keywords anymore
  • changed the conditional syntax in Robot tests to use IF/ELSE for compatibility with newer Robot Framework versions
  • cleaned up tests-related file organization in the repository
  • simplified flags for renode-test under dotnet
  • added skip_mono and skip_dotnet tags to Robot tests
  • removed internal signal mappings from STM32 EXTI, making the interrupt routing more explicit in REPL files
  • console mode will be started instead of telnet when the UI fails to start
  • reset can now be executed on a not started machine
  • expanded the Execution Tracer with TrackMemoryAccesses and TrackVectorConfiguration options, along with disassembler-generated info
  • OnMemoryAccess hooks now receive the current PC as a parameter
  • changed the CRCEngine API and improved implementation
  • ELF symbol lookup will now skip several types of unimportant symbols
  • tags can now have zero width to ease the creation of variable width registers
  • added option to invert reset logic in AXI4Lite
