Introduction

This builds a test binary which contains the NLUnitTests and can be flashed onto a device. The device is controlled using the included RPCs, through the python test runner.

Building

• Download the Simplicity Commander command line tool, and ensure that commander is your shell search path. (For Mac OS X, commander is located inside Commander.app/Contents/MacOS/.)

• Download and install a suitable ARM gcc tool chain: GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain 9-2019-q4-major

• Install some additional tools(likely already present for CHIP developers):

#Linux $ sudo apt-get install git libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 ninja-build

#Mac OS X $ brew install ninja

• Supported hardware:

  MG12 boards:

  • BRD4161A / SLWSTK6000B / Wireless Starter Kit / 2.4GHz@19dBm
  • BRD4164A / SLWSTK6000B / Wireless Starter Kit / 2.4GHz@19dBm
  • BRD4166A / SLTB004A / Thunderboard Sense 2 / 2.4GHz@10dBm
  • BRD4170A / SLWSTK6000B / Multiband Wireless Starter Kit / 2.4GHz@19dBm, 915MHz@19dBm
  • BRD4304A / SLWSTK6000B / MGM12P Module / 2.4GHz@19dBm

  MG21 boards: Currently not supported due to RAM limitation.

  • BRD4180A / SLWSTK6006A / Wireless Starter Kit / 2.4GHz@20dBm

  MG24 boards :

  • BRD4186A / SLWSTK6006A / Wireless Starter Kit / 2.4GHz@10dBm
  • BRD4187A / SLWSTK6006A / Wireless Starter Kit / 2.4GHz@20dBm

OR use GN/Ninja directly

      $ cd ~/connectedhomeip/src/test_driver/efr32/
      $ git submodule update --init
      $ source third_party/connectedhomeip/scripts/activate.sh
      $ export EFR32_BOARD=BRD4161A
      $ gn gen out/debug
      $ ninja -C out/debug

• To delete generated executable, libraries and object files use:

    $ cd ~/connectedhomeip/src/test_driver/efr32/
    $ rm -rf out/
  

Running The Tests

The included python test runner will be installed as part of building.

• To run the tests:

  $ python -m nl_test_runner.nl_test_runner -d /dev/ttyACM1 -f out/debug/chip-efr32-device_tests.s37 -o out.log
