How to Use Rust for Embedded Development

Rust is a language that empowers everyone to build reliable and efficient software. It features:

  • High Performance: Rust features amazingly fast speed and high memory utilization.
  • Reliability: Memory errors are able to be eliminated during compilation.
  • Productivity: Great documentation, a friendly compiler with useful error messages, and top-notch tooling are just a few of Rust's benefits. It comes with an integrated package manager and build tool, smart multi-editor support with auto-completion and type inspections, an auto-formatter, and more.

Why Use Rust for Embedded Development?

Rust is designed to guarantee both security and high performance. The design philosophy fits right into what embedded development requires.

Port Operating Systems to New Chip Architectures

I was once asked why computers are called "computers" when they do so much more than compute numbers. A modern PC browses the internet, plays audio and video, generates beautiful graphics for video games and movies, simulates and predicts complex weather patterns and epidemiological risks, brings architectural and engineering blueprints to life, and much more.

The reason computers can do all of this because all these problems can be expressed as numerical equations, and the computer's CPU—its central processing unit—is actually little more than a simple calculator.

Release of RT-Thread Studio IDE v2.1.0

Introduction

RT-Thread Studio IDE v2.1.0 is releasing! In my last article, you got to know the features of RT-Thread Studio and may have downloaded it for development. So let's head to see what's NEW in its v2.1.0.

Make Your Own Board Supported Packages!

RT-Thread Studio V2.1.0 offers a tool associated with tutorials, which helps developers create the BSP visually. Developers can now easily make a board support package (BSP) and upload it online via the SDK Manager. The BSP tool supports configuring the graphic configuration of dev boards, documentation, and projects. The prompt of every configuration item is shown in front of the interface to help you understand. Also, this time, the Studio team gives a sweet thought. They make the configuration information available for preview! Check out this tutorial to make a BSP by yourself.
