Is there any STM32H7 reliable emulator?

[AAvda.1]

Hi everybody,

I'm working on the stm32H747/757, and later will work on STM32H753.

We have a test-driven development attitude and I was curious, is there any way to emulate the MCUs of H7 series?

Thanks all :)

Good Emulation is very expensive, Keil stopped work on theirs due to the huge expansion in parts, piracy and cheap and ubiquitous hardware dev boards. ie NUCLEO, DISCO, EVAL, and custom..

Develop a methodology to use proxy hardware, automating the ability to download test cases to RAM or via a loader/monitor.

QEMU?

Indeed, it is the most popular, but do you ever tried it? How close it to a real machine?
Is there any attention for memory and gpio mappings?

It is free open source software. Anyone who is motivated can develop the periphs support (or sponsor).

By the way at the ARM developer summit today they bragged about their virtual hardware emulation tools.

Just to complete the list, and this is by no means a recommendation, have a look at Proteus,
