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.

If you’ve worked on any projects using Rust and a Raspberry Pi I would be interested to hear your story.

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

I decided I wanted to write an embedded OS with security as the focus.

Having decided my goal and the platform, the biggest decision I had remaining ...

November 10, 2023 - curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh if you visit that page from a Mac, Linux or similar machine. I prefer this because: 1) The Debian packages are generally somewhat out of date. Rust is still under development and it is easy to fetch new stable versions with the rustup command that gets installed as above.

So although the Pi was still running a 32 bit user land the kernel identified as 64 bit which confused the Rust installer. If one follows the Rust installation instructions here: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install the resulting Rust installation will not run on a Pi4 with a 32 bit Pi OS.

Both arch and bsp contain code that is conditionally compiled depending on the actual target and board for which the kernel is compiled. For example, the interrupt controller hardware of the Raspberry Pi 3 and the Raspberry Pi 4 is different, but we want the rest of the kernel code to play nicely with any of the two without much hassle.
