Simulate a RISCV project

This section is a tutorial that guides you through the use of Zazu and shows you the steps you need to take to launch your first simulation of “hello_world” application for the SiFive_HiFive1 board using Zephyr Workbench.

Create your application for the SiFive_HiFive1​

To simulate an application, it must first be created. We recommend using the Zephyr Workbench tool for this purpose. The following link provides a tutorial to guide you through creating your project : link

Configure the simulator​

  1. Click on "Zazu Configuration" to open the Zazu Configuration view zazuConfigurationView

  2. The View Configuration consists of three sections:

    • Ports: Allows configuration of the generator's ports, primarily for advanced use.
    • Projects: Contains the necessary information for the simulator to interact with your project.
    • Simulator: Includes simulator-specific configurations, useful for advanced scenarios.

  3. We will configure the Projects section using the blinky example created in the first step.

  4. Select the SiFive_HiFive1 board and keep the default debugger.

  5. Click on the Project Path field—a dropdown list of projects in your workspace will appear. Select hello_world.
    AutoCompletion
    If you have installed Zephyr Workbench and compiled your program, the other fields will be filled in automatically. Otherwise, enter them manually.

Start the simulation​

When you press Run or Debug, the configurations are automatically saved. However, if you want to save your configurations without starting a simulation, simply click Apply.

  • Run: Starts the simulation.
  • Debug: Starts the simulation with a debugging instance.
  1. Click on "Debug" and start the debug Debug
