Course Outline
Introduction to Embedded Rust
- Overview of no_std, core, and the embedded Rust ecosystem
- Selecting a target and comprehending target triples
- Configuring rustup, cargo, and target toolchains
Tooling, Build & Debug Workflows
- Leveraging cargo, cargo-embed, probe-run, and OpenOCD workflows
- Flashing and debugging via hardware probes (ST-Link, JLink)
- CI considerations for compiling embedded Rust firmware
Hardware Abstraction and Peripheral Interaction
- Comprehending embedded-hal traits and driver patterns
- Peripheral access crates (PACs) and device crates (svd2rust)
- Developing and utilizing HAL drivers and board support crates (BSCs)
Memory Safety, Concurrency & Real-Time Operations
- Safe patterns for shared state and mutable references within interrupts
- RTIC and alternative concurrency models for real-time systems
- Heap versus stack usage, allocators, and avoiding dynamic allocation
Error Handling, Testing & Reliability
- Error handling patterns in constrained environments
- Unit testing on the host versus integration testing on hardware
- Fault analysis, logging, and post-mortem strategies
Performance, Power & Resource Optimization
- Benchmarking, measurement, and optimization of hot paths
- Code size reduction techniques and 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 community resources
