Course Outline
Getting Started with Embedded Rust
- Overview of the no_std, core, and embedded Rust ecosystem
- Selecting a target and understanding target triples
- Configuring rustup, cargo, and specific target toolchains
Tooling, Build & Debug Workflow
- Utilizing cargo, cargo-embed, probe-run, and OpenOCD workflows
- Flashing and debugging via hardware probes (ST-Link, JLink)
- CI considerations for constructing embedded Rust firmware
Hardware Abstraction and Peripheral Access
- Exploring embedded-hal traits and driver design patterns
- Working with peripheral access crates (PACs) and device crates (svd2rust)
- Creating and utilizing HAL drivers and board support crates (BSCs)
Memory Safety, Concurrency & Real-Time
- Implementing safe patterns for shared state and mutable references within interrupts
- Applying RTIC and other concurrency models for real-time systems
- Managing heap vs. stack usage, allocators, and avoiding dynamic allocation
Error Handling, Testing & Reliability
- Adopting error handling patterns suitable for constrained environments
- Comparing host-based unit testing with hardware-based integration testing
- Conducting fault analysis, logging, and post-mortem strategies
Performance, Power & Resource Optimization
- Performing benchmarking, measurement, and optimization of critical paths
- Applying code size reduction techniques and linker scripts
- Implementing power management strategies and low-power design patterns
Deployment, Security & Ecosystem Best Practices
- Managing secure boot, firmware signing, and update strategies
- Addressing supply-chain considerations and dependency management
- Developing a roadmap for migrating C firmware to Rust and accessing community resources
Summary and Next Steps
Requirements
- A solid grasp of fundamental Rust concepts, including ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes
- Practical experience in writing non-trivial Rust programs (intermediate proficiency)
- Familiarity with embedded system concepts such as memory-mapped I/O, interrupts, and peripherals
Target Audience
- Embedded firmware engineers seeking to integrate Rust into their workflow
- Software engineers with Rust background aiming to transition into low-level systems development
- Technical leads assessing the viability of Rust for embedded product development
