microbit
microbit contains everything required to get started with the use of Rust to create firmwares for the fabulous BBC micro:bit microcontroller board. This little board has everything and a kitchen sink built-in, even a capable debugging interface, so all that one needs to get going with programming this device is:
- A BBC micro:bit board (at the moment v1 only)
- A computer (macOS and Linux work perfectly, Windows tested as well)
- A bit of open source software
Some very preliminary examples of using this crate can be found here in this repo or here on my blog.
A guide to embedded development with Rust on the microbit using this crate can be found in the MicroRust book.
The BBC micro:bit and this crate is compatible with the fantastic tooling
provided by the knurling project. If you haven't done so already, installing
probe-run and playing around with the examples is highly recommended:
# cargo install probe-run
# cargo run --release --example led_blocking
