tools/run_tests.sh defaults QEMU_SRC to a sibling of the checkout, which is where setup_qemu.sh puts it; the two defaults disagreed, so a fresh clone rebuilt nothing and reported a build that was not there. The interpreter list was also reading an empty $PY.
tools/test_bk4819_readback.sh was the last test with the author's paths, and the only one that could not run elsewhere. It now takes QEMU, GDB and ELF from the environment or PATH like the python tests, skips with a reason when one is missing, and says so on a platform whose QEMU cannot make the unix socket it uses.
tools/check_docs.py points UVK5_FW_DIR at a sibling and skips the file:line checks, with a message, when there is no firmware tree -- a fresh clone used to see thirteen failures it could do nothing about.
Added .github/workflows/unit.yml (the fast half of run_tests.sh on every push and PR), requirements-dev.txt for the one pip dependency, and a Dockerfile. Flask is not always installed, so test_webui now skips through setUpModule rather than erroring.
Adds a QEMU machine for the Puya PY32F071 (Cortex-M0+) so Quansheng UV-K5 V3
firmware can run on a PC. The firmware boots to its main loop in about five
seconds and the LCD contents are readable.
Register layouts come from the vendor CMSIS header shipped with the firmware
rather than guesswork. Modelled: RCC, GPIO, ADC, both SPI controllers, DMA1 and
the PY25Q16 flash; everything else answers through a logging catch-all, which is
how the next thing worth modelling gets identified.
Seven things had to be right before it would boot, each found by watching where
the firmware stopped: flash aliased at the application offset, clock ready bits,
self-clearing ADC calibration, SPI transfer flags, DMA-driven flash reads,
SysTick poll acceleration, and the bit-banged transceiver bus idling low.
SysTick needs explanation. SYSTICK_DelayUs polls the counter and accumulates
differences; under emulation a register read costs far more relative to guest
time, so a measured 120 ms delay would have taken about 7.7 hours. Lowering the
clock does not help because the bottleneck is loop iterations, not counter speed.
Reporting a value that runs ahead of the real counter does, via a new poll-boost
property on SysTick. Guest time therefore runs fast during delays: fine for
exercising menus and control flow, wrong for judging signal timing.
Also includes the host build of the CW timing chain (harness, stubs, shim,
tests), which compiles app/cwkeyer.c and app/cwmacro.c unmodified against stub
drivers with a virtual clock and scripted paddle input.
Known gap: keypad rows reach the firmware's scan and KEYBOARD_Poll returns the
right key code, but the UI does not react yet.
Not modelled, and not intended to be: radio behaviour. The transceiver chip has
no public datasheet, so keying envelopes and emissions need real hardware.
