Starting a new project

Now that you have learned about the main features of the RTFM framework you can try it out on your hardware by following these instructions.

1. Instantiate the cortex-m-quickstart template.

$ # for example using `cargo-generate`
$ cargo generate \
    --git https://github.com/rust-embedded/cortex-m-quickstart \
    --name app

$ # follow the rest of the instructions

2. Add a device crate that was generated using svd2rust v0.14.x, or a board support crate that depends on one such device crate as a dependency. Make sure that the rt feature of the crate is enabled.

In this example, I'll use the lm3s6965 device crate. This device crate doesn't have an rt Cargo feature; that feature is always enabled.

This device crate provides a linker script with the memory layout of the target device so memory.x and build.rs need to be removed.

$ cargo add lm3s6965 --vers 0.1.3

$ rm memory.x build.rs

3. Add the cortex-m-rtfm crate as a dependency and, if you need it, enable the timer-queue feature.

$ cargo add cortex-m-rtfm --allow-prerelease --upgrade=none

4. Write your RTFM application.

Here I'll use the init example from the cortex-m-rtfm crate.

$ curl \
    -L https://github.com/japaric/cortex-m-rtfm/raw/v0.4.0-beta.1/examples/init.rs \
    > src/main.rs

That example depends on the panic-semihosting crate:

$ cargo add panic-semihosting

5. Build it, flash it and run it.

$ # NOTE: I have uncommented the `runner` option in `.cargo/config`
$ cargo run
{{#include ../../../ci/expected/init.run}}```
