Course Outline
Foundations of Embedded Rust
- Overview of the no_std, core, and broader embedded Rust ecosystem
- Selecting appropriate targets and interpreting target triples
- Configuring rustup, cargo, and specific target toolchains
Tooling, Build, & Debug Processes
- Integrating cargo, cargo-embed, probe-run, and OpenOCD workflows
- Flashing and debugging using hardware probes like ST-Link and JLink
- Addressing CI requirements for embedded Rust firmware builds
Hardware Abstraction and Peripheral Interaction
- Exploring embedded-hal traits and driver design patterns
- Utilizing peripheral access crates (PACs) and device crates (svd2rust)
- Creating and implementing HAL drivers and board support crates (BSCs)
Memory Safety, Concurrency, & Real-Time Performance
- Applying safe patterns for shared state and mutable references within interrupts
- Leveraging RTIC and alternative concurrency models for real-time systems
- Managing heap versus stack usage, allocators, and minimizing dynamic allocation
Error Management, Testing, & Reliability
- Implementing error handling strategies in constrained environments
- Conducting unit tests on the host and integration tests on hardware
- Performing fault analysis, logging, and post-mortem reviews
Performance, Power, & Resource Optimization
- Benchmarking, measuring, and refining hot paths for performance
- Applying code size reduction techniques and linker scripts
- Implementing power management strategies and low-power design patterns
Deployment, Security, & Ecosystem Standards
- Establishing secure boot, firmware signing, and update protocols
- Navigating supply-chain considerations and dependency management
- Planning the migration from C firmware to Rust and accessing community resources
Recap and Future Pathways
Requirements
- Solid grasp of fundamental Rust principles, including ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes
- Proven experience in developing complex Rust applications (intermediate level)
- Knowledge of embedded systems concepts such as memory-mapped I/O, interrupts, and peripheral interaction
Target Audience
- Embedded firmware engineers seeking to integrate Rust into their workflow
- Software engineers with a Rust background aiming to transition into low-level system development
- Technical leads assessing the suitability of Rust for embedded product development
