Course Outline
Introduction to Embedded Rust
- Overview of the no_std, core, and broader embedded Rust ecosystem.
- Selecting appropriate targets and understanding target triples.
- Configuring rustup, cargo, and specific target toolchains.
Tooling, Build, and Debug Workflows
- Leveraging cargo, cargo-embed, probe-run, and OpenOCD integration.
- Flashing and debugging via hardware probes such as ST-Link and JLink.
- Addressing CI/CD pipeline considerations 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 utilizing Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) drivers and Board Support Crates (BSCs).
Memory Safety, Concurrency, and Real-Time Systems
- Implementing safe patterns for managing shared state and mutable references within interrupts.
- Applying RTIC and alternative concurrency models tailored for real-time systems.
- Managing heap versus stack usage, allocators, and strategies to avoid dynamic allocation.
Error Handling, Testing, and Reliability
- Adopting error handling patterns suitable for resource-constrained environments.
- Distinguishing between host-based unit testing and hardware-based integration testing.
- Employing fault analysis, logging mechanisms, and post-mortem investigation strategies.
Performance, Power, and Resource Optimization
- Conducting benchmarks, measuring performance, and optimizing critical hot paths.
- Applying code size reduction techniques and managing linker scripts.
- Implementing power management strategies and low-power design patterns.
Deployment, Security, and Ecosystem Best Practices
- Configuring secure boot processes, firmware signing, and update mechanisms.
- Addressing supply-chain security and managing dependencies effectively.
- Planning the migration of C firmware to Rust and utilizing community resources.
Summary and Future Pathways
Requirements
