Hey everyone,
I ordered a Pebble Time 2 but it hasn’t arrived yet. In the meantime I’d like to start working on firmware modifications - specifically RTL/Hebrew text rendering support - and I’d love to be able to test on an emulator rather than wait for the hardware.
From what I can tell, all the existing QEMU-based emulators (pebble/qemu, pebble-qemu-wasm) target the older STM32F4 platforms (snowy, basalt, chalk, emery). The new Pebble Time 2 runs on a SiFli SF32LB52 SoC, which seems like a completely different emulation target.
Has anyone looked into emulating the obelix hardware? Or is real hardware the only option right now?
If no obelix emulator exists, is snowy_bb2 + QEMU a reasonable stand-in for testing text rendering changes? My understanding is that the graphics/applib layer is largely platform-agnostic C, so RTL fixes there should carry over directly.
Thanks
