Tests: Add time emulation feature for tests with BEREMIZ_TEST_CYCLES CFLAG.
Adding BEREMIZ_TEST_CYCLES=1000 in a project's CFLAGS will:
- run 1000 cycles with no pause
- emulate time flowing normaly for PLC code
- exit PLC thread
This allows:
- testing standard library blocks that deal with time without having to wait
- unit testing and code coverage with POUs that uses time
Project overview
================
In order to target the widest possible range of programmable devices and keep efficient, Beremiz use C code as an intermediate language.
To be executed, C needs to be compiled. `GCC <http://gcc.gnu.org>`_ serve that purpose perfectly.
PLC program is expressed in languages defined in IEC-61131, including graphical languages. Thanks to PLCopen TC2, those graphical languages have a standardised representation, in XML.
To be continued.
