## QEMU Testing (ADR-061)
Test the firmware without physical hardware using Espressif's QEMU fork. A compile-time mock CSI generator (`CONFIG_CSI_MOCK_ENABLED=y`) replaces the real WiFi CSI callback with a timer-driven synthetic frame injector that exercises the full edge processing pipeline -- biquad filtering, Welford stats, top-K selection, presence/fall detection, and vitals extraction.
### Prerequisites
- **ESP-IDF v5.4** -- [installation guide](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/v5.4/esp32s3/get-started/)
- **Espressif QEMU fork** -- must be built from source (not in Ubuntu packages):
```bash
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/espressif/qemu.git /tmp/qemu
cd /tmp/qemu
./configure --target-list=xtensa-softmmu --enable-slirp
make -j$(nproc)
sudo cp build/qemu-system-xtensa /usr/local/bin/
```
### Quick Start
Three commands to go from source to running firmware in QEMU:
```bash
cd firmware/esp32-csi-node
# 1. Build with mock CSI enabled (replaces real WiFi CSI with synthetic frames)
idf.py -D SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS="sdkconfig.defaults;sdkconfig.qemu" build
# 2. Create merged flash image
esptool.py --chip esp32s3 merge_bin -o build/qemu_flash.bin \
--flash_mode dio --flash_freq 80m --flash_size 8MB \
0x0 build/bootloader/bootloader.bin \
0x8000 build/partition_table/partition-table.bin \
0x20000 build/esp32-csi-node.bin
# 3. Run in QEMU
qemu-system-xtensa -machine esp32s3 -nographic \
-drive file=build/qemu_flash.bin,if=mtd,format=raw \
-serial mon:stdio -no-reboot
```
The firmware boots FreeRTOS, loads NVS config, starts the mock CSI generator at 20 Hz, and runs all edge processing. UART output shows log lines that can be validated automatically.
### Mock CSI Scenarios
The mock generator cycles through 10 scenarios that exercise every edge processing path:
| ID | Scenario | Duration | Expected Output |
|----|----------|----------|-----------------|
| 0 | Empty room | 10 s | `presence=0`, `motion_energy < thresh` |
| 1 | Static person | 10 s | `presence=1`, `breathing_rate` in [10, 25], `fall=0` |
| 2 | Walking person | 10 s | `presence=1`, `motion_energy > 0.5`, `fall=0` |
| 3 | Fall event | 5 s | `fall=1` flag set, `motion_energy` spike |
| 4 | Multi-person | 15 s | `n_persons=2`, independent breathing rates |
| 5 | Channel sweep | 5 s | Frames on channels 1, 6, 11 in sequence |
| 6 | MAC filter test | 5 s | Frames with wrong MAC dropped (counter check) |
| 7 | Ring buffer overflow | 3 s | 1000 frames in 100 ms burst, graceful drop |
| 8 | Boundary RSSI | 5 s | RSSI sweeps -127 to 0, no crash |
| 9 | Zero-length frame | 2 s | `iq_len=0` frames, serialize returns 0 |
### NVS Provisioning Matrix
14 NVS configurations are tested in CI to ensure all config paths work correctly:
| Config | NVS Values | Validates |
|--------|-----------|-----------|
| `default` | (empty NVS) | Kconfig fallback paths |
| `wifi-only` | ssid, password | Basic provisioning |
| `full-adr060` | channel=6, filter_mac=AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF | Channel override + MAC filter |
| `edge-tier0` | edge_tier=0 | Raw CSI passthrough (no DSP) |
| `edge-tier1` | edge_tier=1, pres_thresh=100, fall_thresh=2000 | Stats-only mode |
| `edge-tier2-custom` | edge_tier=2, vital_win=128, vital_int=500, subk_count=16 | Full vitals with custom params |
| `tdm-3node` | tdm_slot=1, tdm_nodes=3, node_id=1 | TDM mesh timing |
| `wasm-signed` | wasm_max=4, wasm_verify=1, wasm_pubkey=<32B> | WASM with Ed25519 verification |
| `wasm-unsigned` | wasm_max=2, wasm_verify=0 | WASM without signature check |
| `5ghz-channel` | channel=36, filter_mac=... | 5 GHz CSI collection |
| `boundary-max` | target_port=65535, node_id=255, top_k=32, vital_win=256 | Max-range values |
| `boundary-min` | target_port=1, node_id=0, top_k=1, vital_win=32 | Min-range values |
| `power-save` | power_duty=10, edge_tier=0 | Low-power mode |
| `corrupt-nvs` | (partial/corrupt partition) | Graceful fallback to defaults |
Generate all configs for CI testing:
```bash
python scripts/generate_nvs_matrix.py
```
### Validation Checks
The output validation script (`scripts/validate_qemu_output.py`) parses UART logs and checks:
| Check | Pass Criteria | Severity |
|-------|---------------|----------|
| Boot | `app_main()` called, no panic/assert | FATAL |
| NVS load | `nvs_config:` log line present | FATAL |
| Mock CSI init | `mock_csi: Starting mock CSI generator` | FATAL |
| Frame generation | `mock_csi: Generated N frames` where N > 0 | ERROR |
| Edge pipeline | `edge_processing: DSP task started on Core 1` | ERROR |
| Vitals output | At least one `vitals:` log line with valid BPM | ERROR |
| Presence detection | `presence=1` during person scenarios | WARN |
| Fall detection | `fall=1` during fall scenario | WARN |
| MAC filter | `csi_collector: MAC filter dropped N frames` where N > 0 | WARN |
| ADR-018 serialize | `csi_collector: Serialized N frames` where N > 0 | ERROR |
| No crash | No `Guru Meditation Error`, no `assert failed`, no `abort()` | FATAL |
| Clean exit | Firmware reaches end of scenario sequence | ERROR |
| Heap OK | No `HEAP_ERROR` or `out of memory` | FATAL |
| Stack OK | No `Stack overflow` detected | FATAL |
Exit codes: `0` = all pass, `1` = WARN only, `2` = ERROR, `3` = FATAL.
### GDB Debugging
QEMU provides a built-in GDB stub for zero-cost breakpoint debugging without JTAG hardware:
```bash
# Launch QEMU paused, with GDB stub on port 1234
qemu-system-xtensa \
-machine esp32s3 -nographic \
-drive file=build/qemu_flash.bin,if=mtd,format=raw \
-serial mon:stdio \
-s -S
# In another terminal, attach GDB
xtensa-esp-elf-gdb build/esp32-csi-node.elf \
-ex "target remote :1234" \
-ex "b edge_processing.c:dsp_task" \
-ex "b csi_collector.c:csi_serialize_frame" \
-ex "b mock_csi.c:mock_generate_csi_frame" \
-ex "watch g_nvs_config.csi_channel" \
-ex "continue"
```
Key breakpoints:
| Location | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| `edge_processing.c:dsp_task` | DSP consumer loop entry |
| `edge_processing.c:presence_detect` | Threshold comparison |
| `edge_processing.c:fall_detect` | Phase acceleration check |
| `csi_collector.c:csi_serialize_frame` | ADR-018 serialization |
| `nvs_config.c:nvs_config_load` | NVS parse logic |
| `wasm_runtime.c:wasm_on_csi` | WASM module dispatch |
| `mock_csi.c:mock_generate_csi_frame` | Synthetic frame generation |
VS Code integration -- add to `.vscode/launch.json`:
```json
{
"name": "QEMU ESP32-S3 Debug",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/firmware/esp32-csi-node/build/esp32-csi-node.elf",
"miDebuggerPath": "xtensa-esp-elf-gdb",
"miDebuggerServerAddress": "localhost:1234",
"setupCommands": [
{ "text": "set remote hardware-breakpoint-limit 2" },
{ "text": "set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 2" }
]
}
```
### Code Coverage
Build with gcov enabled and collect coverage after a QEMU run:
```bash
# Build with coverage overlay
idf.py -D SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS="sdkconfig.defaults;sdkconfig.qemu;sdkconfig.coverage" build
# After QEMU run, generate HTML report
lcov --capture --directory build --output-file coverage.info
lcov --remove coverage.info '*/esp-idf/*' '*/test/*' --output-file coverage_filtered.info
genhtml coverage_filtered.info --output-directory build/coverage_report
```
Coverage targets:
| Module | Target |
|--------|--------|
| `edge_processing.c` | >= 80% |
| `csi_collector.c` | >= 90% |
| `nvs_config.c` | >= 95% |
| `mock_csi.c` | >= 95% |
| `stream_sender.c` | >= 80% |
| `wasm_runtime.c` | >= 70% |
### Fuzz Testing
Host-native fuzz targets compiled with libFuzzer + AddressSanitizer (no QEMU needed):
```bash
cd firmware/esp32-csi-node/test
# Build fuzz target
clang -fsanitize=fuzzer,address -I../main \
fuzz_csi_serialize.c ../main/csi_collector.c \
-o fuzz_serialize
# Run for 5 minutes
timeout 300 ./fuzz_serialize corpus/ || true
```
Fuzz targets:
| Target | Input | Looking For |
|--------|-------|-------------|
| `csi_serialize_frame()` | Random `wifi_csi_info_t` | Buffer overflow, NULL deref |
| `nvs_config_load()` | Crafted NVS partition binary | No crash, fallback to defaults |
| `edge_enqueue_csi()` | Rapid-fire 10,000 frames | Ring overflow, no data corruption |
| `rvf_parser.c` | Malformed RVF packets | Parse rejection, no crash |
| `wasm_upload.c` | Corrupt WASM blobs | Rejection without crash |
### QEMU CI Workflow
The GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/firmware-qemu.yml`) runs on every push or PR touching `firmware/**`:
1. Uses the `espressif/idf:v5.4` container image
2. Builds Espressif's QEMU fork from source
3. Runs a CI matrix across NVS configurations: `default`, `nvs-full`, `nvs-edge-tier0`, `nvs-tdm-3node`
4. For each config: provisions NVS, builds with mock CSI, runs in QEMU with timeout, validates UART output
5. Uploads QEMU logs as build artifacts for debugging failures
No physical ESP32 hardware is needed in CI.
