Environments

Ubuntu 20.04 is supported and also being used for CI.

Getting started

After cloning the repo, first, set up the pre-configured RIOT/ESP32 toolchain:

$ make init

examples/esp32-no_std

A bare no_std ESP32 firmware with a minimal Rust module. Use make run to (build and) run the firmware. To exit the qemu-system-xtensa based runner, type Ctrl-a x.

$ make run

Upon running the firmware, a binary file called 'riot.esp32.bin' is generated. For test on the real ESP32 device, you can flash this image onto the device by following the Espressif's manual.

examples/xbd-base

A cross-BOARD firmware with a demo Rust module featuring the "semi_std" support (println!(), vec::*, Box, core2::io::*, etc.). This example would be a convenient template for you to start developing a new RIOT-OS firmware in Rust.

Use make run-native (or make run as default) to run it as RIOT native firmware; or use make run-esp32 for ESP32.

$ make run-native

$ make run-esp32

examples/xbd-py

This example demonstrates a cross-BOARD firmware running the MicroPython interpretor. After bootstraping, a Rust module called 'libvoucher.a' (which implements the RFC8995 Constrained Voucher) is loaded as Python module, and then its APIs are batch-tested.
