The Embedded Working Group Newsletter - 26

Highlights

• @cecton wrote a blog post targeted to experienced developers but embedded development beginners: Rust, Arduino and Embedded Development as a Beginner: Part 1

• @brainstorm and @joshajohnson Created a RTIC example for an HID mouse with a blackberry trackball bbtrackball-rs.

• The knurling-rs tooling initiative by Ferrous Systems has grown: after defmt, the project has publicly released three new tools:

  • flip-link, a linker wrapper that adds zero-cost stack overflow protection to your project
  • probe-run, a Cargo runner that seamlessly runs embedded programs on your target device as if they were native ones
  • defmt-test, a proc-macro to write and run unit tests on embedded devices

• The Rust Embedded Working Group's MSRV (Minimum Supported Rust Version) policy has been updated and now only requires that crates build on the latest stable Rust release. See msrv for more details.
