Course Outline
Getting Started with Embedded Rust
- Overview of the no_std, core, and embedded Rust ecosystem.
- Selecting a target and understanding target triples.
- Setting up rustup, cargo, and target toolchains.
Tooling, Build & Debug Workflow
- Utilizing workflows with cargo, cargo-embed, probe-run, and OpenOCD.
- Flashing and debugging using hardware probes (such as ST-Link and JLink).
- Continuous Integration (CI) considerations for building embedded Rust firmware.
Hardware Abstraction and Peripheral Access
- Understanding embedded-hal traits and driver patterns.
- Working with Peripheral Access Crates (PACs) and device crates generated via svd2rust.
- Writing and utilizing HAL drivers and Board Support Crates (BSCs).
Memory Safety, Concurrency & Real-Time
- Implementing safe patterns for shared state and mutable references during interrupts.
- Utilizing RTIC and other concurrency models for real-time systems.
- Managing heap versus stack usage, allocators, and strategies to avoid dynamic allocation.
Error Handling, Testing & Reliability
- Adopting error handling patterns suited for constrained environments.
- Conducting unit testing on the host versus integration testing on hardware.
- Strategies for fault analysis, logging, and post-mortem reviews.
Performance, Power & Resource Optimization
- Benchmarking, measurement, and optimization of critical paths.
- Techniques for reducing code size and managing linker scripts.
- Power management strategies and low-power design patterns.
Deployment, Security & Ecosystem Best Practices
- Secure boot processes, firmware signing, and update strategies.
- Supply-chain considerations and dependency management.
- A roadmap for migrating from C firmware to Rust and accessing community resources.
Summary and Next Steps
Requirements
- A solid understanding of core Rust concepts, including ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes.
- Hands-on experience in writing non-trivial Rust programs (intermediate proficiency).
- Familiarity with embedded systems concepts such as memory-mapped I/O, interrupts, and peripherals.
Audience
- Embedded firmware engineers looking to adopt Rust.
- Software engineers with Rust experience who are transitioning to low-level systems.
- Technical leads assessing Rust for embedded product development.
