Part 8: Embedded Systems Development

A practical guide to building embedded applications with Rust, using the STM32F769I-DISCO evaluation board. Part 6 teaches the building blocks; Part 8 teaches the complete development workflow.

Chapters

1. Toolchain Setup - Development environment and project configuration
2. Embedded Software - Writing embedded Rust with HALs
3. Debugging - Tools and techniques for embedded debugging
4. Bare Metal Runtime - From reset vector to main
5. Memory Management - Allocation strategies for constrained systems
6. C Interoperability - Mixing Rust with C firmware
7. Binary Optimization - Size and performance tuning
8. Async Concurrency - Embassy executor and async tasks

Prerequisites

• Completed Parts 1-6
• Understanding of no_std, bare metal basics, and embedded HAL (Part 6)
• STM32F769I-DISCO evaluation board (recommended, but concepts apply to any Cortex-M board)

Next Steps

Start with Toolchain Setup.
