Course Outline
Initiating Embedded Rust Development
- An introduction to no_std, the core library, and the broader Rust embedded ecosystem.
- Selecting appropriate targets and interpreting target triples.
- Configuring rustup, cargo, and the necessary target toolchains.
Tooling, Build, and Debugging Workflows
- Leveraging cargo, cargo-embed, probe-run, and OpenOCD for streamlined processes.
- Executing flashing and debugging tasks using hardware probes like ST-Link and JLink.
- Integrating CI best practices for building embedded Rust firmware.
Hardware Abstraction and Peripheral Interaction
- Exploring embedded-hal traits and standard driver patterns.
- Utilizing Peripheral Access Crates (PACs) and device crates generated by svd2rust.
- Creating and implementing HAL drivers and Board Support Crates (BSCs).
Memory Safety, Concurrency, and Real-Time Systems
- Implementing safe patterns for shared state and mutable references during interrupts.
- Adopting RTIC and other concurrency models suited for real-time applications.
- Optimizing heap versus stack usage, managing allocators, and minimizing dynamic allocation.
Error Handling, Testing, and Reliability
- Applying effective error handling strategies in resource-constrained settings.
- Conducting unit tests on the host and integration tests on actual hardware.
- Performing fault analysis, logging, and implementing post-mortem strategies.
Performance, Power, and Resource Optimization
- Carrying out benchmarking, measurement, and optimization of critical code paths.
- Employing code size reduction techniques and utilizing linker scripts.
- Implementing power management strategies and low-power design patterns.
Deployment, Security, and Ecosystem Best Practices
- Establishing secure boot, firmware signing, and update mechanisms.
- Addressing supply-chain considerations and effective dependency management.
- Planning the migration of C firmware to Rust and exploring community resources.
Conclusions and Future Steps
Requirements
- A solid grasp of fundamental Rust concepts, including ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes.
- Practical experience in developing non-trivial Rust applications (intermediate proficiency).
- Knowledge of embedded system principles such as memory-mapped I/O, interrupts, and peripheral management.
Target Audience
- Embedded firmware professionals seeking to integrate Rust into their workflow.
- Software engineers with Rust expertise who are transitioning into low-level systems development.
- Technical leaders assessing Rust for embedded product development projects.
