This year in embedded Rust #25

japaric · 2018-11-08T22:33:37Z

This is the blog post I mentioned during the last meeting. I'd like to publish
it next Wednesday.

All kind of feedback is welcomed! Let me know if there's something you'd like to
see mentioned in this post.

Blockers for publishing this:

docs.rust-embedded.org links should be up and running. This seems good to
go for now but has been a bit flaky. We should keep an eye on it. cc
@rust-embedded/infrastructure
book: remove empty chapters, chapter title freeze as per
Chapter Title Freeze for Rust Website book#52, move type state under static guarantees @jamesmunns
book/getting-started: add semihosting section. @japaric
book/getting-started: add registers section. @japaric / @thejpster -- see Re-working registers and peripherals book#76
[postponed] book/getting-started: add ~~device /~~ interrupt section but this is blocked
on svd2rust 0.14.0 so may not happen until after the blog post. @therealprof will work on this.
book/peripherals: merge the current getting-started/registers into this
chapter. @jamesmunns / @thejpster -- see Re-working registers and peripherals book#76
rename new-book. @ryankurte

Additionally we might want to include these two in this post:

[postponed] awesome-embedded-rust: "does this compile on stable?" community effort.

What: Make an issue with instructions (add version badge to each crate in the
list?) and link to it from the blog post.

I suggested this before. @rust-embedded/resources do you want to tackle this?

wg: 2019 wishlist

What: Make an issue collecting people thoughts on what should we focus on next
year: ecosystem gaps that need to be filled, docs that need to be written,
unstable stuff that should prioritized for stabilization, language feature
requests.

@rust-embedded/all thoughts? we'll probably have the "call for 2019 blog post"
soon, in any case. Should we run an informal survey ourselves, or just watch
over the incoming blog posts?

@japaric Reads good.

What: Make an issue with instructions (add version badge to each crate in the
list?) and link to it from the blog post.

I'm not sure how we can pull this off.

adamgreig · 2018-11-13T01:15:09Z

This looks great! I don't have any suggestions for the post as-written, but in terms of your additional questions:

awesome-embedded-rust: "does this compile on stable?" community effort.
What: Make an issue with instructions (add version badge to each crate in the
list?) and link to it from the blog post.

I think this sounds good. At the very least we can create the issue and tag it help-wanted and then start working through crates. Hopefully crate authors themselves might be motivated to check their crate builds on stable, get it working if not, and add the tag. It might mean some PR churn but that's not too hard to handle.

wg: 2019 wishlist
What: Make an issue collecting people thoughts on what should we focus on next
year: ecosystem gaps that need to be filled, docs that need to be written,
unstable stuff that should prioritized for stabilization, language feature
requests.

👍 on including this too. It would be good to get strong targets lined up for after 2018 hits.

A few minor suggestions, but overall looks great. Thank you @japaric!

+days are over: Rust 1.30 marks the first stable release where you can build
+fully working embedded programs without relying on unstable features.

+Furthermore, we now have some [unit][] [tests] that check embedded code in the


Extra []?

this is to avoid this being parsed as [unit][tests] which would render as a single word / broken link.

@japaric do you want to merge and publish this today? Also do you want to add links to the normal "discuss on ..." channels of twitter/reddit/u.r-l.o?

japaric · 2018-11-14T10:13:25Z

@jamesmunns yes and yes. Can I task you with the publishing and posting this to social media?

jamesmunns · 2018-11-14T10:47:47Z

Will merge/publish shortly, post everywhere, then submit a PR with links.

japaric · 2018-11-14T10:56:36Z

@jamesmunns Thanks! I've temporarily disabled branch protection so you can directly commit the new links. (I will be away for ~1h and won't be able to review / r+ your PRs).

@japaric posts are up, links are added. Okay to re-enable master protection whenever you get a chance.

japaric · 2018-11-14T12:30:23Z

@jamesmunns Thanks! I have re-enabled branch protection.
