Course Outline
Introduction to Embedded Rust
- Exploration of the no_std, core, and broader embedded Rust ecosystem
- Selecting target architectures and interpreting target triples
- Configuring rustup, cargo, and specific target toolchains
Tooling, Build, and Debugging Processes
- Utilizing cargo, cargo-embed, probe-run, and OpenOCD workflows
- Flashing and debugging via hardware probes (ST-Link, JLink)
- Addressing CI/CD considerations for building embedded Rust firmware
Hardware Abstraction and Peripheral Interaction
- Analyzing embedded-hal traits and driver design patterns
- Working with Peripheral Access Crates (PACs) and device crates via svd2rust
- Creating and utilizing HAL drivers and Board Support Packages (BSPs)
Memory Safety, Concurrency, and Real-Time Systems
- Implementing safe patterns for shared state and mutable references within interrupts
- Applying RTIC and other concurrency models for real-time applications
- Managing heap versus stack usage, allocators, and minimizing dynamic allocation
Error Management, Testing, and Reliability
- Applying error handling strategies in constrained environments
- Conducting unit tests on the host and integration tests on hardware
- Performing fault analysis, logging, and post-mortem reviews
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 patterns
Deployment, Security, and Ecosystem Best Practices
- Implementing secure boot, firmware signing, and update mechanisms
- Considering supply-chain security and dependency management
- Planning the migration of C firmware to Rust and utilizing community resources
