Therefore, efforts were made to eliminate the biggest painpoint in embedded development as much as possible: Toolchain hassle. Rust itself is already helping a lot in that regard, because it has built-in support for cross-compilation. All that we need for cross-compiling from an x86 host to the Raspberry Pi's AArch64 architecture will be automatically installed by rustup.

Operating System development tutorials in Rust on the Raspberry Pi is a tutorial series for hobby OS developers who are new to ARM’s 64 bit ARMv8-A architecture. The tutorials will give a guided, step-by-step tour of how to write a monolithic Operating System kernel for an embedded system from scratch.

A Book on Embedded programming with Raspberry Pi Pico 2
The RP2350 is a 32-bit dual ARM Cortex-M33 and Hazard3 RISC-V microcontroller integrated circuit designed by Raspberry Pi Ltd. It was released in August 2024 as part of the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 board. Is this true, they designed own chip for Pico 2? I mean it is limiting use in production because there will be always supply shortage. From my past experience with RPI platform, its almost impossible to buy mini boards in larger quantities. More on reddit.com

December 2, 2024Implementing a non blocking delay on Raspberry with Rust
You can use the crate nb , which is a minimal non-blocking I/O layer. The whole thing with the crate is that it doesn't block, but you can even make it block if you need it to. nb is used all the time by many HALs. (Examples on the documentation ) Alternatively you can use countdown timers or hardware alarms. Your HAL should implement some form of that. Alarm example: (rp-2040 hal, will probably be different on your hal) loop { let _ = alarm.schedule(DELAY_TIME.micros()); while !alarm.finished() { // Do stuff } // Alarm timer is automatically cleared here and will be rescheduled on the next loop } And your idea of using a timer is perfectly valid and it's commonly done; Timer example: (rp-2040 hal, will probably be different on your hal) loop { while timer.get_counter() < prev_time + DELAY_TIME { // do stuff } prev_time = timer.get_counter(); } Edit: I now see that it isn't implemented on your HAL. Then nb is probably your best bet. Best of luck! More on reddit.com

Cross-compiling to Raspberry PI is easy, and works great. Compiling on a Raspberry PI is rather painful due to long compile times.

Raspberry Pi Bare Metal Programming with Rust | by Thiago | Medium
August 21, 2016 - To get started we’re going to need `arm-none-eabi` toolchain, for cross-compiling, Rust nightly with `libcore` compiled for this architecture, Raspberry’s boot files and a Raspberry Pi B+ to run our code. I’ll walk-through the process. The steps below were done on OSX, but you can easily adapt to Linux. To install the arm-none-eabi toolchain you can either use homebrew or download the tarball, for OSX, Linux and Windows. With homebrew you just have to: $ brew tap nitsky/stm32 $ brew install arm-none-eabi-gcc $ arm-none-eabi-gcc --version arm-none-eabi-gcc (GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors) 4.9.3 20150529 (release) [ARM/embedded-4_9-branch revision 227977]

Getting Started with Embedded Rust, Embassy, and the Raspberry Pi Pico
The Pi Pico and the RP2040 have a big community, and there's a large ecosystem of related hardware, including many other boards that feature the RP2040. probe-rs is an embedded debugging toolkit, also written in Rust, which integrates nicely with the rest of the tooling we're going to use.
