RV-LINK
=======

RISC-V emulator implemented with RISC-V development board. Unlike other emulators:
RV-LINK interacts directly with GDB via a USB serial port and does not require an
intermediary such as OpenOCD. Official reference can be found
`here <https://gitee.com/zoomdy/RV-LINK/blob/master/README.md>`__.

Configuration
-------------

You can configure debugging tool using :ref:`projectconf_debug_tool` option in
:ref:`projectconf`:

.. code-block:: ini

    [env:myenv]
    platform = ...
    board = ...
    debug_tool = rv-link

If you would like to use this tool for firmware uploading, please change
upload protocol:

.. code-block:: ini

    [env:myenv]
    platform = ...
    board = ...
    debug_tool = rv-link
    upload_protocol = rv-link

More options:

* :ref:`projectconf_section_env_debug`
* :ref:`projectconf_section_env_upload`
