Renode coming to a cloud near you - Michael Gielda - ORConf 2019
Channel: FOSSi Foundation
Date: 2019-10-12

Renode has been available as a permissively licensed desktop simulation framework for (unmodified) software development and HW/SW co-development in complex systems - including multi-node, heterogeneous multi-core and multi-architecture ones - for some years now, gaining momentum especially with the advent of RISC-V and open ISAs in general. Besides a host of awesome recent developments in version 1.8 such as physical FPGA and Verilator co-simulation, enhanced multi-core debug, support for many new RISC-V platforms, Renode has also some big changes to announce. The collaborative nature of virtual development - with features such as state saving, event storing/replaying, synchronous debug of multi-node environments and simply being able to share your work with colleagues using a bunch of files - is best experienced in a cloud environment, where resources can be truly shared and easily scaled. In this talk, we’re announcing the Renode Cloud Environment, an open source design, testing and CI system that builds on and integrates with Renode.
