Course Outline
Introduction to Embedded Rust
- Overview of the no_std, core, and embedded Rust ecosystem
- Selecting a target and understanding target triples
- Configuring rustup, cargo, and target-specific toolchains
Tooling, Build, and Debugging Workflows
- Utilizing cargo, cargo-embed, probe-run, and OpenOCD workflows
- Flashing and debugging via hardware probes (ST-Link, JLink)
- Considering CI practices 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 (svd2rust)
- Creating and utilizing HAL drivers and Board Support Crates (BSCs)
Memory Safety, Concurrency, and Real-Time Processing
- Implementing safe patterns for shared state and mutable references in interrupts
- Exploring RTIC and other concurrency models for real-time systems
- Managing heap versus stack usage, allocators, and avoiding dynamic allocation
Error Handling, Testing, and Reliability
- Applying error handling patterns in constrained environments
- Conducting unit tests on the host and integration tests on hardware
- Analyzing faults, logging, and implementing post-mortem strategies
Performance, Power, and Resource Optimization
- Benchmarking, measuring, and optimizing critical code paths
- Techniques for reducing code size and managing linker scripts
- Strategies for power management and low-power design
Deployment, Security, and Ecosystem Best Practices
- Implementing secure boot, firmware signing, and update strategies
- Addressing supply-chain considerations and dependency management
- Planning the migration of C firmware to Rust and leveraging community resources
Summary and Next Steps
