Repo for the second rust playground hosted by ALTEN
You can run the tests either in vscode by clicking Run / Run Tests inline in the rs files. Alternatively you may use cargo run / cargo test to execute the assignments.
All exercises require you to create an implementation for them. Some require you to add arguments to the function in order to match the tests.
Memory? Memory! But just a bit.. In this exercise you will work with lists and strings without use of heap allocated memory. This allows you to define the amount you need to use and have a sure way to fit everything in your embedded device.
Can you use heapless for all instances of standard library versions?
Get ready to dive into the world of embedded programming with Rust! In this exercise, we'll build a standard 'hello' project and flash it onto an ESP32 board. Let's power up those circuits and get coding!
Time to use your artistic skills and put it on hardware! Do you know Ferris? He is the Rust mascot you see in all stories regarding Rust. Could you draw Ferris on the ESP display?
Did you know you can run your application on your desktop sharing most of the code base? Only the hardware layer is separated.
Time for a blend! You are the proud owner of a large C code base. As you ponder whether this is viable for future work, your looking for options to include some Rust. One way is to create remote interfaces, have inter process communication or network based communication.
Not today! What we will do is compile the new Rust additions into your C program. This allows you to introduce new code whilst you keep all precious years of history and battle tested code.
The other version of exercise 1. You have Rust, want more Rust, but are forced to include some C in there. This exercises creates external functions in C which you can link and use in Rust.
NOTE Compilation of this project on Windows may require modifying the path of your project as Windows has a limit on the maximum path size. You can mount a directory to a drive letter as follows:
subst R: rust-project
Afterwards compile in R:\ as your path. If this does not work move the project to beginning of your drive, eg. C:\
