Hands-on work: embedded programming in Rust using a 32-bit RISC-V board (Longan Nano).

By topic:

  • Rustlings Rust programming exercises for warmup
  • Compiling Rust to run on RISC-V
  • Programming peripherals at register-level
  • Implementing an embedded application using a board-support package (BSP)
  • HW/SW programming ecosystem in Rust (PAC, HAL, BSP)
  • Foreign function interface (FFI): working in-between Rust and C
  • Compilers & linkage

These skills will be applicable to many application specific integrated circuits (ASIC), most IoT-style devices and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) -devices.
