In this webinar on November 3 from 8-9 am PT, Antmicro will introduce Renodepedia, an extensive database of contemporary hardware powered by Renode, the open source simulation framework, using Zephyr as one of the key data sources. Renodepedia is a follow-on effort to the Renode Zephyr Dashboard – a massive Continuous Integration system that covers testing of more than 50% of all Zephyr build targets against several test cases.

Join the webinar to learn how to uncover data that is often obscured from engineers and how Zephyr’s structure yields practical benefits – and listen about our journey from being able to run a dozen or so cases, to over a thousand green ticks in our dashboard, and then to organizing this data further into a navigable, testable and verifiable portal that can help future developers understand the broad landscape of available hardware platforms.
We will show you how to process device trees hosted by Zephyr using a new tool called dts2repl, from which we automatically generate simulation scenarios for Renode which we then execute with a passing result on over 200 targets.
With data gathered from Zephyr, dts2repl, Renode and the Zephyr Dashboard we are able to construct a new source of knowledge – Renodepedia, which presents this data in a coherent and interlinked way, allowing you to navigate the complex ecosystem and helping answer questions every project faces: “which platform will work for me?”, “what if my SoC becomes unavailable?”, “how to migrate to a different hardware platform without rewriting my entire software stack?” (spoiler alert: use Zephyr and Renode).
