Course Outline
Getting Started with Embedded Rust
- Overview of the no_std, core, and embedded Rust ecosystem.
- Selecting a target 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 (ST-Link, JLink).
- 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 in interrupt contexts.
- RTIC and other concurrency models suitable for real-time systems.
- Managing heap vs. stack usage, allocators, and strategies to avoid dynamic allocation.
Error Handling, Testing & Reliability
- Error handling patterns tailored for constrained environments.
- Unit testing on host systems versus integration testing on hardware.
- Fault analysis, logging techniques, and post-mortem strategies.
Performance, Power & Resource Optimization
- Benchmarking, measurement techniques, and optimizing critical code paths.
- Techniques for reducing code size and managing linker scripts.
- Power management strategies and low-power design patterns.
Deployment, Security & Ecosystem Best Practices
- Secure boot, firmware signing, and update strategies.
- Supply-chain considerations and dependency management.
- Roadmap for migrating C firmware to Rust and available community resources.
Summary and Next Steps
Requirements
- A solid understanding of core Rust concepts, including ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes.
