dts2repl generates unresolved types (NRF_CLOCK, NRF_USBD) for nrf52840dk when using zephyr.dts

[Pipoderoso]

Context:

• Zephyr Application
  • Board: nrf52840dk/nrf52840
• Renode: v1.15.3.18516
• dts2repl: main as of today

Description
I want my renode simulation to use a .repl file generated from the flatten zephyr.dts file. So I am calling:

dts2repl build/zephyr/zephyr.dts 

and using the generated output.repl in my resc script:

machine LoadPlatformDescription $ORIGIN/output.repl

When running the simulation I get the following error:

There was an error executing command 'machine LoadPlatformDescription @/home/user/embu/firmware/products/nrf52840-pca10056-showcase/embuz/boards/nordic/nrf52840dk/support/output.repl'
Error E04: Could not resolve type: 'Miscellaneous.NRF_CLOCK'.
At /home/user/embu/firmware/products/nrf52840-pca10056-showcase/embuz/boards/nordic/nrf52840dk/support/output.repl:94:8:
clock: Miscellaneous.NRF_CLOCK @ sysbus 0x40000000

So I noticed that the .repl file available from Renode uses Miscellaneous.NRF52840_CLOCK instead Miscellaneous.NRF_CLOCK for the clock. Once I manually change the value the problem is solved.

Next, I got the following error:

There was an error executing command 'machine LoadPlatformDescription @/home/user/embu/firmware/products/nrf52840-pca10056-showcase/embuz/boards/nordic/nrf52840dk/support/output.repl'
Error E04: Could not resolve type: 'USB.NRF_USBD'.
At /home/user/embu/firmware/products/nrf52840-pca10056-showcase/embuz/boards/nordic/nrf52840dk/support/output.repl:127:7:
usbd: USB.NRF_USBD @ sysbus 0x40027000

When I checked in the .repl file from Renode there is no usbd: USB.NRF_USBD anywhere. So I comment it out and then the simulation runs without any problem.

Conclusion

• For the first problem it seems like the models.yml file should be updated from:

  ...
  "nordic,nrf-clock": "Miscellaneous.NRF_CLOCK",
  ...

  To:

  ...
  "nordic,nrf-clock": "Miscellaneous.NRF52840_CLOCK",
  ...

• For the second problem it seems like usbd: USB.NRF_USBD is being added while still not available in Renode. Is that true?
