HD Embedded SoC, Rust environment

This project is a test how far i can get in running an Embedded Soc, that was created during a university class, with rust only code.

Warning all of this is experimental in nature and not intendet for production use! But since this is a very custom SoC that was specific to a university course the is not really any chance for that.

Dependencies

To build embedded programs you'll need:

• Rust 1.31, 1.30-beta, nightly-2018-09-13 or a newer toolchain. e.g. rustup default beta

• The cargo generate subcommand. Installation instructions.

• rust-std components (pre-compiled core crate) for the ARM Cortex-M targets. Run:

$ rustup target add thumbv6m-none-eabi thumbv7m-none-eabi thumbv7em-none-eabi thumbv7em-none-eabihf

• openocd to be able to debug the code on the SoC and to be able to flash the final program for usage

• The arm-none-eabi toolchain in particlar the arm-none-eabi-gdb for debbuing

Building and Debugging

To comfortably test your code start the openocd server:

$ openocd -f openocd.cfg

Now running cargo run will result in a gdb session being attached and the newly compiled code to be loaded.
