GSoC Contributor Introduction: Integrating Renode to RTEMS

[Joel Sherrill]

First, congratulations on being accepted. This project was my idea
initially so I hope it is as fruitful to the community as I hope.

Second, use the devel@ mailing list since that is where most of the
developers are.

Other comments inline.

This is known to work. I think Alan Cudmore has reproduced this and there
is some information on the web about this:

I don't think you will be adding code to renode. I hope you will submit
documentattion to them on running RTEMS on renode. I also expect additions
to the RTEMS documentation on running each BSP you succeed with on renode.

I would hope that you are able to run multiple BSPs on renode. That's one
of the goals of this project in my mind. How many BSPs can you run on
renode?

STM32 is one which looks like it is well supported and we don't have
another simulator option.

Yep. Although this can evolve over the project. Focus on using it first.

You want to use the rtems-test framework to run renode from the command
line. This should be an early goal. It should not be particularly hard. If
you can run it from the command line without a GUI, then it should be easy.
We can model this support after qemu or sis.

Now what they have for a framework is another matter. It would be nice to
exercise more of the BSPs supported but testing more BSPs using renode.io
is the first order. Make that easy for everyone.

:) I'm looking forward to this.
