Hi,

Sorry, my previous answer was wrong and it has been corrected.

You can build the tests/unity/example_test for DK and flash it to DK.

I test on nRF52840DK with "west build -b nRF52840dk_nrf52840 && west flash" and get the follwoing result:

*** Booting Zephyr OS build v2.7.99-ncs1-1  ***

src/example_test.c:28:test_uut_init:PASS

src/example_test.c:39:test_uut_init_with_param_check:PASS

And how can we write unit-tests which run on the target hardware? Would that be possible with ztest? Can you provide an example?

Hi,

Yes, that unity in nRF Connect SDK can run on DK.

Hi!

The example provided in tests/unity/example_test is for native_possix. Therefore is meant to build on the host. What I would like to get is an example of a unit-test to run in the nordic test-board.

Could you please help me?

Hi,

[quote user="David Reimondez Garcia"]I have an additional question neither Unity nor Ztest support c++[/quote]

Ztest supports c++, and Unity does not yet.

[quote user="David Reimondez Garcia"]

Do you have any recommendation? Which framework would you recommend to use c++?

Or would you recommend not using c++ at all working with nrf Connect?

See my colleague Einar's answer in this post.

Hi,

[quote user=""]It is not clear to me if this test framework is prepared to run also in Windows. Is the board "native_posix" only supported on Linux at the moment?[/quote]

It has only been tested on Linux, Native POSIX execution (native_posix) — Zephyr Project Documentation, you can try WSL.

[quote user=""]Is there no way to run the tests on the target hardware using this framework? Could you provide some examples?[/quote]

An example for a unit test can be found in tests/unity/example_test. You can take a look at Setting up a unit test doc.

Here is a similar case.

Amanda
