Notes

Abstract

With the Rust embedded-hal v1.0 now released almost two years ago, Rust is really ready for bare metal embedded deployments. This talk will look at cheap RISC-V MCUs like the CH32V003 featuring (RPi Pico or Teensy style for less than EUR 1.30) and show you hands-on how you may develop your embedded system using bare metal Rust. From zero to main, using probe-rs for flashing and debugging, IDE integration thereof and some tricks like successfully using no-std for the tiniest footprint possible.
