Build the ZoneX regression test harness #3
Description
Stand up the ZoneX regression suite, following the layout the other Eclipse ThreadX repositories use so that contributors moving between them find the same commands.
Blocked by #2, which decides what the suite runs on.
Scope
test/holding the CMake project(s) for the suite, with arun.shentry point per target, as intest/tx/cmake/run.sh.scripts/build_*.shandscripts/test_*.shpairs, one per test target, each a thin wrapper over the matchingrun.sh.scripts/*.ps1equivalents for Windows, if the host target decided in Decide the host target for the ZoneX regression suite #2 has a Windows story. ThreadX does this throughscripts/tx_windows_common.ps1plus per-targetbuild_*.ps1/test_*.ps1, driving MSVC through the Visual Studio Build Tools only — no dependency on Visual Studio itself.scripts/install.shinstalling the toolchain and test dependencies on Ubuntu. Worth copying the retry and timeout handling from the ThreadX version rather than writing it fresh; that code exists because unboundedapt-get updatecalls cost whole CI runs.- Coverage reporting via gcovr, pinned exactly as ThreadX pins it.
Definition of done
The suite builds and passes locally on Linux, and on Windows if applicable, and the "Building and testing" section of CONTRIBUTING.md is rewritten to replace the current placeholder — documenting each script and which target it covers.

Scoped by the A3 Phase-0 plan, step 1 T8 (
~/plans/A3-step1.md). Targets arehost(manifest validator and the rest of the architecture-independent logic),fvpands32z280— not the win32/win64/POSIX simulators ThreadX uses. #2 is closed: the target decision was already made in the plan.The rewrite of
CONTRIBUTING.md's "Building and testing" section that this issue's definition of done requires is step 8 T8.fdesbiens commentedon Sep 2, 2026
Status update — the harness landed with the ZoneX repository foundation change. Leaving this open until it is proven on a pull request; see "What is left" below.
What now exists
test/holds arun.shentry point per target:test/host/run.sh(build|test|coverage),test/fvp/run.shandtest/s32z280/run.sh.scripts/holds the matching thin wrappers —build_host.sh/test_host.sh,build_fvp.sh/test_fvp.sh,build_s32z280.sh/test_s32z280.sh— so a contributor moving between Eclipse ThreadX repositories finds the same shape.scripts/install.shinstalls the build and test dependencies on Ubuntu, with the retry-and-timeout handling copied from ThreadX's rather than written fresh. That code exists because unboundedapt-get updatecalls cost whole CI runs there, once for over two hours.gcovr, pinned exactly at8.6— the same version ThreadX pins, so the two repositories' numbers are comparable. It is moved by hand; no Dependabot ecosystem parses a shell script.CMakePresets.jsonoffers the same builds directly:default,ci-strict(warnings as errors),coverage,fvp,fvp-strict,s32z280.test_zx_api, covering what the foundation change actually delivers — the capability macros,zx_addr_t, and the 64-byte MPU granule constant. It grows substantially once the partition manifest and its validator arrive.Two decisions this issue raised, now recorded
build_host.ps1would be a promise the project cannot keep. Reversible cheaply —.gitattributesalready pins*.ps1to CRLF and all the logic lives in therun.shentry points. Recorded asdocs/decisions.mdD13, andCONTRIBUTING.md's sentence implying Windows support is qualified rather than left standing.What is left before this closes
The suite builds and passes locally on Linux, and
CONTRIBUTING.md's "Building and testing" section now describes what exists instead of what was planned. What it has not done is run on a pull request — ZoneX has had none yet. This stays open until a pull request shows the wrappers green in CI.fdesbiens commentedon Sep 9, 2026
Fixed by #5. Closing.
