In collaboration with Google and the Sound Open Firmware project, the Xtensa ISA is now supported in Renode, Antmicro’s open source simulation framework.
Renode provides debugging, inspection, and testing features, and shares a vendor-neutral, modular, permissive, and open source approach with SOF and the Zephyr RTOS, enabling hardware-less development for complex systems.
Future goals include enabling better debugging for the HiFi DSP series using Renode’s debug features in the SOF use case, as well as adding support for more Xtensa-based platforms for new SOF target development.
