Usage

Basic Setup

#![no_std]

use oxigdal_embedded::prelude::*;
use oxigdal_embedded::config::presets;

// Use a platform preset
let config = presets::esp32();

// Create a static memory pool
static POOL: StaticPool<4096> = StaticPool::new();

fn main() {
    // Allocate from the pool
    let ptr = POOL.allocate(256, 8).expect("allocation failed");

    // Use minimal geospatial types
    let coord = MinimalCoordinate::new(10.5, 20.3);
    let bounds = MinimalBounds::new(0.0, 0.0, 100.0, 100.0);

    if bounds.contains(&coord) {
        // Process coordinate
    }
}

Power Management

use oxigdal_embedded::power::{PowerManager, PowerMode};

let pm = PowerManager::new();

// Switch to low power mode
pm.request_mode(PowerMode::LowPower).expect("mode change failed");

// Estimate battery life
use oxigdal_embedded::power::PowerEstimator;

let mut estimator = PowerEstimator::new(3300); // 3.3V
estimator.set_current(100); // 100mA
let hours = estimator.battery_life_hours(2000); // 2000mAh battery

Real-Time Scheduling

use oxigdal_embedded::realtime::{RealtimeScheduler, Deadline};

let scheduler = RealtimeScheduler::new(240); // 240MHz CPU
scheduler.init();

let deadline = Deadline::hard(1000); // 1ms deadline

scheduler.execute_with_deadline(deadline, || {
    // Critical task that must complete within 1ms
}).expect("deadline missed");

Memory Pools

use oxigdal_embedded::memory_pool::{StaticPool, BlockPool, MemoryPool};

// Static bump allocator
let static_pool = StaticPool::<65536>::new();
let ptr = static_pool.allocate(1024, 16).expect("allocation failed");

// Block pool for frequent allocations
let block_pool = BlockPool::<256, 64>::new();
let block = block_pool.allocate(128, 8).expect("allocation failed");

// Deallocate
unsafe {
    block_pool.deallocate(block, 128, 8).expect("deallocation failed");
}

Synchronization

use oxigdal_embedded::sync::{Mutex, Semaphore, AtomicCounter};

// Thread-safe counter
let counter = AtomicCounter::new(0);
counter.increment();

// Mutex for shared data
let mutex = Mutex::new(42);
{
    let mut guard = mutex.lock();
    *guard = 100;
}

// Semaphore for resource counting
let sem = Semaphore::new(5);
sem.try_acquire().expect("acquire failed");
sem.release();

Configuration Presets

The crate provides pre-configured settings for common platforms:

use oxigdal_embedded::config::presets;

// ESP32 (240MHz, 520KB RAM)
let config = presets::esp32();

// ESP32-C3 RISC-V (160MHz, 400KB RAM)
let config = presets::esp32c3();

// ARM Cortex-M4 (168MHz, 192KB RAM)
let config = presets::cortex_m4();

// Generic RISC-V (100MHz, 128KB RAM)
let config = presets::riscv();

// Ultra-low-power (32MHz, 64KB RAM)
let config = presets::ultra_low_power();
