Installing Rust on Pi5/Bookworm - Raspberry Pi Forums
November 25, 2023 - I have never known it to fail on any system, Mac, PC, Pi, Jetson, etc. I strongly urge you not to use the Rust that is available in the operating systems apt repository. Far better to use the latest versions of Rust that you get by installing it properly and using rustup to keep your Rust up to date.

Rust Language on Raspberry Pi Boards
Which Raspberry Pi? I ask because the new Pi5 is on ARM v8 which has no build targets in stable Rust. appears to have tier 1 support already... Pi 2, 3, and 4 however are ARM v7 and so you should be able to cross compile for them using the "armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf" target. << Not sure if this is current, as according to the documentation as long as you're running ARM Linux kernel version 4.1 or newer the standard ARM linux target should work. Pi 5 may be more challenging to cross compile, so I'd try compiling it on the pi itself (should be no problem on a pi5?), assuming it's running linux you should be able to install it - it's in the repos on my Pi5 running Ubuntu... Though you might want to just compile Rustup yourself as the docs suggest. Disclaimer: I haven't tested this. EDIT: I got home and had to try this - I ssh'd into my pi5 and installed rustup, which was one line as documented here : curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh Default install targeted --> stable-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu Made a new project with cargo new and printed Hello World to the terminal, the binary compiled and ran with no issues. HOWEVER - if I try to cross-compile from my Windows machine, the story is different. It was a huge pain in the ass. So much so that I didn't bother completing getting it working because it will involve junking up my local toolchain. I would much rather just pull down the repo from the Pi and compile it locally. You need to use a non-default toolchain and other witchery in your project config to make it work. Even in WSL I had the the same issue, even though it's using the gnu toolchain in WSL, it errors when you try to compile to the ARM target. Closest I got was forcing using the lld linker (after installing it using apt) and it outputs the exact same errors as cc 🤷♂️ So, OP, I sympathize. Hopefully you have the option of compiling locally on the Pi, as that works for me with no issues. More on reddit.com

This may not be directly applicable to your situation, but when I'm building my project locally on my pi, I pass the -j 1 flag to cargo build to avoid OOM. The flag makes rustc only do one build job a time, reducing peak memory usage. More on reddit.com

r/rust on Reddit: Installing Rust in a Raspberry Pi 3A+
January 28, 2023 -
I have got myself a new Raspberry Pi 3A+ to do some Rust development for this platform. At the moment I am interested in writing some code for this Display-O-Tron hat. So I have started by installing Rust on the Raspberry OS 64bits (Lite, since I only ssh to the machine. No XWindows) using rustup.
My awesome Raspberry Pi 3A+ in its aluminium case and with a Display-O-Tron hatTo my surprise the installation failed twice. To be completely honest, I didn't pay much attention to the output, but when I did, the third time, I realized that rustc had failed to install because the task to take care of the installation had been killed without finishing. A couple of Google searches and another attempt later I learned that the problem was that rustup was consuming all of the available memory and, hence, failing to finish. The Raspberry Pi 3A+ only has 512MB of memory, but still. I believe that running out of memory when uncompressing the downloaded files is a little bit excessive. Keep in mind that the same process works perfectly fine in a Raspberry Pi Zero W that is a less powerful device with the same amount of memory, but running the 32bit version of the same OS.
Don't get me wrong, please. This ain't a rant against rustup. I love the tool and really appreciate all the work behind it. I am just curious about your opinion on whether we should push to have an installer that is more benevolent. This has been reported before, but the conclusion was that 512MB was too tight for Rust development. What do you think?
Spoiler alert: If you run upon the same problem you can increase the swap size (512MB worked fine for me) at the price of punishing your SDCard. Instructions to do so can be found here.
Another spoiler alert: if you run the installation with RUSTUP_IO_THREADS set to 1, as suggested by u/kryps, it also works flawlessly.

Seems the installer decides the Pi 4 is a 64 bit machine and it all goes wrong. To get it to work: 1) Download the installer as per the link above: ... $ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh 2) When prompted select option "2) Custom installation" 3) When prompted for "Default host triple?" enter "arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf" Other options are up to you, I selected "nightly" for the default toolchain, "complete" for the profile and "y" to update my PATH.

The problem is the size of the files it uses. Those text-files are 6GB and 11GB therefore doesn't fit in the RAM.I don't know of course, but I'd take a bet that this could be written using less physical memory.
