ChibiOS is pretty cool. Rust is pretty cool.

This is an attempt to get ChibiOS useful via Rust. Or maybe it's to make Rust useful on ChibiOS.

Setup

$ rustup override set nightly
$ cargo install xargo
$ brew install llvm # per https://rust-lang-nursery.github.io/rust-bindgen/requirements.html

Update the memory.x file to reflect the layout of your hardware.

Build

Selecing your desired hardware is kind of an ugly process at the moment, and not very well fleshed-out. ChibiOS requires a few flags to specify the port (i.e. CPU type), which we need to pass in to the build script. As such, each CPU will need to get its own feature which will gate compilation of libchibios.a, manage bindgen, as well as set handlers in main.rs.

See Cargo.toml to dive into it. If you're not adding your own chip, the following are currently supported:

• stm32f407xg
• stm32f051x8

Pass them to Cargo using the --features flag, e.g.

$ xargo build --target thumbv7m-none-eabi --features stm32f407xg

Use

I like openocd and gdb.

$ openocd -f board/stm32f0discovery.cfg -c '$_TARGETNAME configure -rtos auto' -c 'gdb_port 3333' # or whatever
