Course Outline
Initiating Embedded Rust
- An overview of the no_std, core, and embedded Rust ecosystem
- Selecting targets and interpreting target triples
- Configuring rustup, cargo, and target-specific toolchains
Tooling, Build, and Debugging Workflows
- Leveraging cargo, cargo-embed, probe-run, and OpenOCD workflows
- Flashing and debugging via hardware probes (ST-Link, JLink)
- Addressing CI considerations for embedded Rust firmware builds
Hardware Abstraction and Peripheral Access
- Comprehending embedded-hal traits and driver design patterns
- Utilizing Peripheral Access Crates (PACs) and device crates (svd2rust)
- Developing and implementing HAL drivers and Board Support Crates (BSCs)
Memory Safety, Concurrency, and Real-Time Systems
- Establishing safe patterns for shared state and mutable references within interrupts
- Implementing RTIC and other concurrency models for real-time contexts
- Managing heap versus stack usage, allocators, and minimizing dynamic allocation
Error Handling, Testing, and Reliability
- Adopting error handling strategies suitable for constrained environments
- Comparing unit testing on the host with integration testing on hardware
- Executing fault analysis, logging, and post-mortem strategies
Performance, Power, and Resource Optimization
- Conducting benchmarks, measurements, and optimization of hot paths
- Applying code size reduction techniques and linker scripts
- Implementing power management strategies and low-power design patterns
Deployment, Security, and Ecosystem Best Practices
- Enforcing secure boot, firmware signing, and update protocols
- Addressing supply-chain risks and managing dependencies
- Planning the migration from C to Rust and exploring community resources
Wrap-up and Future Steps
Requirements
- A solid grasp of core Rust concepts, including ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes
- Practical experience writing non-trivial Rust programs (intermediate level)
- Familiarity with embedded systems concepts such as memory-mapped I/O, interrupts, and peripherals
Target Audience
- Embedded firmware engineers seeking to integrate Rust into their workflows
- Software engineers with Rust experience transitioning to low-level system development
- Technical leads assessing Rust for embedded product development
