The goal of this project is to create a simulation environment for the NXP S32K3X8EVB board using QEMU. This environment will allow developers to test and develop embedded software applications without the need for physical hardware, thereby reducing costs and increasing accessibility. The specific objectives of the project include:
- Setting up QEMU to emulate the NXP S32K3X8EVB board.
- Configuring necessary peripherals and interfaces, such as UART and SPI, to ensure accurate simulation of the board’s functionality.
- Porting FreeRTOS to the simulated environment to enable real-time operating system capabilities.
- Testing the simulation environment with sample applications to validate the implementation.
- Documenting the implementation process, challenges encountered, and solutions devised to overcome them.
In particular the peripherals that will be implemented are: • UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) • SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)
