.. zephyr:board:: qemu_riscv32_xip

Overview
********

The RISCV32 XIP QEMU board configuration is used to emulate the RISCV32 architecture.

Programming and Debugging
*************************

Applications for the ``qemu_riscv32_xip`` board configuration can be built and run in
the usual way for emulated boards (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details).

Flashing
========

While this board is emulated and you can't "flash" it, you can use this
configuration to run basic Zephyr applications and kernel tests in the QEMU
emulated environment. For example, with the :zephyr:code-sample:`synchronization` sample:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/synchronization
   :host-os: unix
   :board: qemu_riscv32_xip
   :goals: run

This will build an image with the synchronization sample app, boot it using
QEMU, and display the following console output:

.. code-block:: console

   thread_a: Hello World from cpu 0 on qemu_riscv32_xip!
   thread_b: Hello World from cpu 0 on qemu_riscv32_xip!
   thread_a: Hello World from cpu 0 on qemu_riscv32_xip!
   thread_b: Hello World from cpu 0 on qemu_riscv32_xip!
   thread_a: Hello World from cpu 0 on qemu_riscv32_xip!
   thread_b: Hello World from cpu 0 on qemu_riscv32_xip!
   thread_a: Hello World from cpu 0 on qemu_riscv32_xip!
   thread_b: Hello World from cpu 0 on qemu_riscv32_xip!
   thread_a: Hello World from cpu 0 on qemu_riscv32_xip!
   thread_b: Hello World from cpu 0 on qemu_riscv32_xip!
   thread_a: Hello World from cpu 0 on qemu_riscv32_xip!
   thread_b: Hello World from cpu 0 on qemu_riscv32_xip!
   thread_a: Hello World from cpu 0 on qemu_riscv32_xip!

Exit QEMU by pressing :kbd:`CTRL+A` :kbd:`x`.
