Description Juro Bystricky 2016-11-14 23:31:55 UTC 
It should be possible to run some Zephyr images in QEMU. This is already supported in native Zephyr build environment. YP should allow it as well.


$ bitbake my-zephyr-image
$ runqemu zephyr.elf

This feature can be used to automate testing as well.
Comment 1 Juro Bystricky 2017-01-25 18:48:37 UTC 
This can be addressed by generating qemuboot.conf containing all needed info to run the Zephyr image in QEMU.
One problem remains thought: runqemu ALWAYS assumes a network is present. There is no way to disable network without patching the "runqemu " itself.
