Simulating Heterogeneous Multi-node 32-bit and 64-bit RISC-V Systems Running Linux and Zephyr
summary
Renode simulates a heterogeneous four-node setup with mixed 32‑bit and 64‑bit RISC‑V cores running Linux and Zephyr concurrently, boots two Linux instances in the demo, and links nodes over UART and a virtual IPv6 network captured via Wireshark integration. It runs deterministically in a single virtual time domain, supports environmental sensor simulation, CI hooks, and save/load states plus record/replay. The multi‑node demo actually boots and communicates, and can bridge to real hardware over standard interfaces.
