name: r52_fvp

# Builds every Cortex-R52 CMake image in both supported configurations and
# EXECUTES them on the Armv8-R AEM FVP, asserting each image's self-reported
# result.
#
# Why this exists: until this workflow landed, nothing in CI ran a single
# instruction of any ThreadX port. gcc_check compiles and links -- its own
# header says so, "it compiles and links and **executes nothing**" -- and its
# CMake stage covers exactly one R52 configuration, the base FVP example with
# -DTX_R52_ENABLE_MPU=ON. So a change that assembles cleanly and links cleanly
# and then hangs on the first context switch passes every required check.
#
# That gap matters more for cortex_r52 than for the other ports, because the
# R52 is the foundation the partitioning work is sequenced behind: the EL2 boot
# path in entry.S, the MPU programming, and the generic-timer plumbing are all
# things later work attaches to rather than replaces. A regression in any of
# them has to be caught by an execution test; there is no static check for
# "the scheduler still schedules".
#
# What it covers:
#
#   - the default configuration -- the images gcc_check's CMake stage builds,
#     but run rather than merely linked;
#   - the feature configuration -- VFP with the hard float ABI, FIQ, IRQ
#     nesting and FIQ nesting. Those four options gate whole assembly blocks
#     (the VMRS/VSTMDB/VLDMIA sequences, the FIQ context paths, the nesting
#     start/end pairs) that the default configuration never assembles, let
#     alone runs.
#
# What it does not cover: the module manager port and the S32Z280 targets are
# not on dev yet -- they are PR #639. When that merges, add their lanes here
# rather than starting a second workflow; the matrix already has the shape.
#
# The S32Z280 targets will be build-only in CI regardless. They need silicon,
# and a hosted runner has none.

  # push as well as pull_request, for the reason gcc_check.yml states at
  # length: dev needs its own baseline so a bad squash-merge is caught then
  # rather than by whoever opens the next pull request.

      #
      # Arm distributes it free of charge but behind a click-through licence,
      # with no stable unauthenticated download URL we can hard-code -- the
      # permalink forms under developer.arm.com/-/cdn-downloads all 404 for
      # this model. So the URL is a repository variable rather than a literal
      # here, and the maintainer sets it once to a location the runner can
      # reach (an Eclipse-hosted mirror, a release asset, or Arm's own URL if
      # a durable one appears).
      #
      # Set FVP_AEMV8R_URL to a .tgz/.tar.gz of the model, and optionally
      # FVP_AEMV8R_SHA256 to its checksum. With the checksum set the download
      # is verified; without it the run says so rather than pretending.
      #
      # When the variable is unset the build lanes still run and still gate the
      # pull request -- only execution is skipped, loudly, in the log and in
      # the job summary. A silent green here would recreate the exact hole this
