That's when I talked a bit about seeing if we could use it as a test platform here. One of the reason I added support to export build artifacts in CI was to enable having downstream stages that can pick up the already generated elf. One thing at the time I hit with the targets I tested was some assumptions around power and clock management that prevented NuttX from booting (waiting for status bits usually). So if we do go down this route I suspect we will need to upstream some of those bits to the emulation which I don't recall being too complicated. If people have a supported platform they would like to see I would be happy to wire a proof of concept through. --Brennan >
