CHIP Tests on QEMU

Tizen runs mostly on ARM architecture. In order to run tests on Tizen, we need to use QEMU. This document describes how to build and run CHIP tests on QEMU.

Obtaining Tizen QEMU Docker Image

All tools and dependencies required to build and run tests on Tizen on QEMU are included in the chip-build-tizen-qemu docker image. One can pull the docker image from hub.docker.com or build it locally using the provided Dockerfile in integrations/docker/images/chip-build-tizen-qemu directory.

# Pull the image from hub.docker.com
docker pull connectedhomeip/chip-build-tizen-qemu:latest

Building and Running Tests on QEMU

All steps described below should be done inside the docker container.

docker run -it --rm --name chip-tizen-qemu \
    connectedhomeip/chip-build-tizen-qemu:latest /bin/bash

Clone the connectedhomeip repository

git clone https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip.git

Activate the environment

cd connectedhomeip
source scripts/activate.sh

Generate and run test target

As for now, Tizen QEMU-based test driver does not support BLE. In order to disable BLE, one needs to pass chip_config_network_layer_ble=false to the args argument of the gn gen command.

# Generate test target
gn gen --check --fail-on-unused-args \
    --root="$PWD/src/test_driver/tizen" \
    --args="target_os=\"tizen\" target_cpu=\"arm\" chip_config_network_layer_ble=false" \
    out/tizen-check
# Run Tizen QEMU-based tests
ninja -C out/tizen-check check
