Embedded Rust

Remote training provided by Ferrous Systems

Learning a new programming language is a complex task, even for very experienced programmers. Being able to learn in a self-driven way is a great skillset to have, but relying on this ability is not time effective or the best use of this skill. Professional training can help you save time and reach your goals more effectively. Ferrous Systems has been an integral member of the Rust community since before Rust 1.0. In-depth knowledge and experience ensure that you will receive meaningful and relevant insights into how Rust can best be applied to your project.

Get up to speed with Embedded Rust

Ferrous Systems’ trainers work with you to ensure all attendees become familiar with Embedded Fundamentals, the Embedded Rust stack, and The Real-Time Interrupt-driven Concurrency framework (RTIC).

We combine theoretical input and hands-on exercises.

The training combines lectures with hands-on exercises that focus on applying what has been learned in context and in a supportive environment. The exercises are a fundamental part of the learning journey: Only by applying the newly learned information is the learning process complete.

Topics to be covered

Embedded Rust Fundamentals

• Introduction to the knurling tooling (flip-link, probe-run, nrfdfu)
• Differences between [std] and [no_std] programming
• Building and running an embedded Rust program
• Defining custom panic behavior
• Using a HAL implementation
• Getting serial output
• Using the heapless crate
• Hands-on exercise: Solving a puzzle with the nRF52840-DK Radio

Down-the-stack of Embedded Rust

• Introduction to the stack:
  • Board Support Crates (BSC)
  • HAL implementations
  • Peripheral Access Crates (PAC)
• Embedded-HAL traits vs. specific HAL implementations
• Introduction to svd2rust
• Implementation of embedded-hal traits
• Hands-on Exercise: implementing parts of a BSC

The Real-Time Interrupt-driven Concurrency framework (RTIC)

• Interrupts in Rust
• Introduction to the RTIC framework
• Hands-on project: implement a working USB Device using RTIC

What you should know before taking this course

Our Embedded Rust training makes some assumptions around the Rust knowledge previously gained by the attendees, so we can concentrate on the Embedded-specific aspects. Before starting this course, we strongly suggest you self assess your Rust skills by having a look at this exercise.

If you've already completed Introduction to Rust, you'll have no issue getting started in the Embedded Rust Training.
