Running nanopb tests on our private toolchain and hardware

[Ofek Almog]

Hi,

I would like to run the nanopb test suite using our private toolchain and also test it on our custom hardware, both for correctness verification and for benchmarking / performance evaluation.

For the toolchain side, I understand that the correct approach is to create a new platform in SCons so that nanopb can be built and tested using our compiler and flags.

However, I am not completely sure what is the recommended procedure for testing nanopb on our actual hardware.

Could you please advise:

• Is there an official or recommended way to adapt the nanopb tests for embedded / target hardware?

• Are there existing examples or guidelines for running the test suite on non-host platforms?

Hi,

The best example is tests/site_scons/platforms/stm32,
which runs the tests on a STM32 development board such
as STM32F7 discovery.

The other platforms currently implemented run in simulators.
