@lupyuen Hi Lup thx for your awesome posts about #nuttx on embedded systems! I'm currently doing some research for a students tutorial and asking myself if GPIO can be simulated with #qemu and #riscv running #nuttx. Do you have any ideas on how to simulate this using the emu and how must #nuttx be configured to provide the /dev/gpioXX device?

@nekron Thanks :-) I don't think NuttX on RISC-V QEMU supports GPIO. That's because NuttX is hardcoded to use the "Generic Virtual Platform (virt)", which doesn't support GPIO:

We might need to switch to the PolarFire Icicle Emulator for QEMU:

And boot NuttX for PolarFire Icicle:

Sounds complicated though.
