renode-run   ci crates.io

A custom Cargo runner that runs Rust firmware in the renode emulator.

Features

  • Acts as a Cargo runner, integrating into cargo run.
  • Exposes all of renode's scripting facilities and CLI as configuration in your Cargo.toml.
  • Provides configuration for the environment, allowing you to perform environment variable substitution on nearly everything.

Installation

To install renode-run, use cargo install renode-run.

Setup

NOTE Requires renode to be installed on the host system.

1. Set the Cargo runner

Set renode-run as your Cargo runner (.cargo/config.toml).

[target.'cfg(all(target_arch = "arm", target_os = "none"))']
runner = "renode-run"

2. Run

You can now run your firmware using cargo run.

Configuration

[package.metadata.renode] options

NOTE Many of these can be overridden by CLI options. Nearly every field supports environment variable substitution.

Fields pertaining the resc script generation:

  • name: The name field used in the generated resc script. If not present, the name of the crate is used or a default name is provided.
  • description: The description field used in the generated resc script. If not present, the description of the crate is used or a default description is provided.
  • machine-name: The machine's name.
  • init-commands: An array of commands ran after the machine is created and before variables are declared.
  • variables: An array of variable declarations. renode-run will automatically insert $bin = @target/<profile>/<bin> as provided by Cargo.
  • platform-description: A single platform description. Can be one of:
    • a renode-provided repl file (starts with @)
    • a local repl file (doesn't start with @)
    • a local repl file that is to be imported and generated into the output directory (starts with <). This is handy when you want to perform environment substitution on the contents of a repl file.
    • a literal string
  • platform-descriptions: An array of platform descriptions. Each entry can be one of:
    • a renode-provided repl file (starts with @)
    • a local repl file (doesn't start with @)
    • a local repl file that is to be imported and generated into the output directory (starts with <). This is handy when you want to perform environment substitution on the contents of a repl file.
    • a literal string
  • reset: The reset macro definition. The default is sysbus LoadELF $bin.
  • start: The start command definition. The default is start.
  • pre-start-commands: An array of commands ran immediately before the start command.
  • post-start-commands: An array of commands ran immediately after the start command.

Fields pertaining the behavior of renode-run:

  • environment-variables: An array of environment variables and values to set for both the renode-run and renode environment.
  • renode: The path to the renode binary to use. Defaults to using the system's $PATH.
  • omit-start: Don't generate a start command. Defaults to false.
  • omit-out-dir-path: Don't add the output directory to renode's path.
  • resc-file-name: The name of the generated resc script. Defaults to emulate.resc.
  • use-relative-paths: TBD
  • disable-envsub: TBD
  • using-sysbus: TBD

Fields pertaining the invocation of renode itself:

  • plain: Adds --plain to the list of arguments given to renode.
  • port: Adds --port <port> to the list of arguments given to renode.
  • disable-xwt: Adds --disable-xwt to the list of arguments given to renode.
  • hide-monitor: Adds --hide-monitor to the list of arguments given to renode.
  • hide-log: Adds --hide-log to the list of arguments given to renode.
  • hide-analyzers: Adds --hide-analyzers to the list of arguments given to renode.
  • console: Adds --console to the list of arguments given to renode.
  • keep-temporary-files: Adds --keep-temporary-files to the list of arguments given to renode.
