Course Outline
Getting Started with Embedded Rust
- Overview of the no_std, core, and embedded Rust ecosystem.
- Choosing a target platform 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.
- 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
- Safe patterns for managing shared state and mutable references within interrupts.
- RTIC and other concurrency models suitable for real-time systems.
- Differences between heap and stack usage, allocators, and strategies to avoid dynamic allocation.
Error Handling, Testing & Reliability
- Error handling patterns tailored for constrained environments.
- Unit testing on the host versus integration testing on hardware.
- Fault analysis, logging mechanisms, and post-mortem strategies.
Performance, Power & Resource Optimization
- Benchmarking, measurement techniques, and optimizing critical code paths.
- Techniques for reducing code size and understanding 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.
- Guidance on migrating from C firmware to Rust, along with available community resources.
Summary and Next Steps
Requirements
- A solid understanding of core Rust concepts, including ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes.
- Hands-on experience writing non-trivial Rust programs at an intermediate level.
- 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 existing Rust experience who are transitioning to low-level systems.
