Course Outline
Introduction to Embedded Rust
- Exploring the no_std, core, and broader embedded Rust ecosystem
- Selecting target architectures and interpreting target triples
- Configuring rustup, cargo, and specific target toolchains
Tooling, Build & Debug Workflows
- Leveraging cargo, cargo-embed, probe-run, and OpenOCD workflows
- Flashing and debugging via hardware probes such as ST-Link and JLink
- Addressing CI pipeline considerations for embedded Rust firmware builds
Hardware Abstraction and Peripheral Interaction
- Mastering embedded-hal traits and driver design patterns
- Utilizing Peripheral Access Crates (PACs) and device crates generated by svd2rust
- Creating and utilizing HAL drivers and board support crates (BSCs)
Memory Safety, Concurrency & Real-Time Systems
- Implementing safe patterns for shared state and mutable references within interrupts
- Adopting RTIC and other concurrency models tailored for real-time applications
- Managing heap versus stack usage, allocators, and strategies to avoid dynamic allocation
Error Handling, Testing & Reliability
- Applying effective error handling patterns in constrained environments
- Conducting unit testing on the host versus integration testing on hardware
- Performing fault analysis, logging, and post-mortem investigations
Performance, Power & Resource Optimization
- Benchmarking, measuring, and optimizing critical code paths
- Reducing code size through linker scripts and optimization techniques
- Implementing power management strategies and low-power design principles
Deployment, Security & Ecosystem Best Practices
- Managing secure boot, firmware signing, and update procedures
- Addressing supply-chain risks and dependency management
- Planning the roadmap for migrating C firmware to Rust and accessing community resources
Conclusion and Future Directions
Requirements
- Understanding of core Rust concepts: ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes.
- Experience writing non-trivial Rust programs (intermediate Rust proficiency).
- Familiarity with embedded concepts: memory-mapped I/O, interrupts, and peripherals.
Target Audience
- Embedded firmware engineers looking to adopt Rust.
- Software engineers with Rust experience transitioning to low-level systems.
- Technical leads evaluating Rust for embedded product development.
