Course Outline
Getting Started with Embedded Rust
- An overview of no_std, core, and the broader embedded Rust ecosystem
- Target selection and comprehension of target triples
- Configuring rustup, cargo, and specific target toolchains
Tooling, Build & Debug Workflow
- Utilizing cargo, cargo-embed, probe-run, and OpenOCD workflows
- Flashing and debugging processes using hardware probes like ST-Link and JLink
- Addressing CI considerations when building embedded Rust firmware
Hardware Abstraction and Peripheral Access
- Analyzing embedded-hal traits and standard driver patterns
- Examining Peripheral Access Crates (PACs) and device crates generated by svd2rust
- Creating and utilizing HAL drivers and Board Support Crates (BSCs)
Memory Safety, Concurrency & Real-Time
- Implementing safe patterns for shared state and mutable references within interrupts
- Exploring RTIC and alternative concurrency models suited for real-time systems
- Comparing heap versus stack usage, managing allocators, and minimizing dynamic allocation
Error Handling, Testing & Reliability
- Developing error handling strategies tailored for constrained environments
- Conducting unit testing on the host compared to integration testing on hardware
- Performing fault analysis, implementing logging, and establishing post-mortem strategies
Performance, Power & Resource Optimization
- Executing benchmarking, measurements, and optimization of critical code paths
- Applying code size reduction techniques and optimizing linker scripts
- Implementing power management strategies and low-power design patterns
Deployment, Security & Ecosystem Best Practices
- Integrating secure boot, firmware signing, and update strategies
- Evaluating supply-chain risks and managing dependencies effectively
- Defining a roadmap for migrating C firmware to Rust and leveraging community resources
Summary and Next Steps
Requirements
- Proficiency in core Rust concepts, including ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes
