Introduction + Embedded Rust Combo

Remote training provided by Ferrous Systems

This training is a combined version of the Introduction to Rust and Embedded Rust training that provides a crash course including everything from installation to the Embedded Fundamentals. The course is taught over 8 half days and includes a mixture of teaching and hands-on exercises throughout which our trainers are available to guide participants through any hurdles.

Part 1, Rust Fundamentals:

You will learn the fundamental skills to confidently read and write Rust code. Over 5 half days in a mixture of lectures and hands-on exercises, we’ll cover:

• Installation and “Hello World”
• Rust's type system
• Basic functions
• Control flow
• Introduction to Rust's ownership model
• Error Handling
• Compound Types
• Reading documentation
• Introduction to testing and tooling
• Writing a simple module
• Generics
• Traits
• Lifetimes & a deeper dive into the ownership model
• Concurrency
• Introduction to important crates such as serde
• Writing documentation for modules
• Nine programming exercises

Part 2, Embedded Rust:

In our Embedded Rust Training over three half-days we'll use the Nordic nrf52840-DK as our example platform. In a varied mix of lectures and hands-on exercises we'll cover the following topics over 3 half days:

• 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
  • Hands-on Exercise: parsing an SVD file with svd2rust

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
