Course Outline
Introduction to Embedded Rust
- Exploring the no_std, core, and broader embedded Rust ecosystem
- Selecting appropriate targets and interpreting target triples
- Configuring rustup, cargo, and specialized target toolchains
Tooling, Build & Debug Workflows
- Leveraging cargo, cargo-embed, probe-run, and OpenOCD workflows
- Performing flashing and debugging via hardware probes (ST-Link, JLink)
- Addressing CI considerations for embedded Rust firmware builds
Hardware Abstraction and Peripheral Interaction
- Analyzing embedded-hal traits and standard driver patterns
- Utilizing Peripheral Access Crates (PACs) and device crates (svd2rust)
- Developing and integrating HAL drivers and board support crates (BSCs)
Memory Safety, Concurrency & Real-Time Systems
- Implementing safe patterns for shared state and mutable references within interrupts
- Applying RTIC and alternative concurrency models for real-time applications
- Optimizing heap versus stack usage, allocators, and minimizing dynamic allocation
Error Handling, Testing & Reliability
- Adopting effective error handling strategies in constrained environments
- Conducting unit tests on the host and integration tests on hardware
- Performing fault analysis, logging, and implementing post-mortem strategies
Performance, Power & Resource Optimization
- Benchmarking, measuring, and optimizing critical code paths
- Reducing code size through techniques and linker script adjustments
- Implementing power management strategies and low-power design patterns
Deployment, Security & Ecosystem Best Practices
- Securing boot processes, firmware signing, and update strategies
- Navigating supply-chain risks and managing dependencies effectively
- Planning the migration of C firmware to Rust and leveraging community resources
Summary and Next Steps
Requirements
- A solid grasp of core Rust concepts, including ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes
- Demonstrated experience in writing complex Rust programs (intermediate level)
- Foundational knowledge of embedded systems concepts such as memory-mapped I/O, interrupts, and peripherals
Target Audience
- Embedded firmware engineers seeking to adopt Rust
- Software engineers with existing Rust experience looking to transition into low-level systems
- Technical leaders assessing the feasibility of Rust for embedded product development
