# `app-template`
|
|
|
|
> Quickly set up a [`probe-rs`] + [`defmt`] + [`flip-link`] embedded project
|
|
|
|
[`probe-rs`]: https://crates.io/crates/probe-rs
|
|
[`defmt`]: https://github.com/knurling-rs/defmt
|
|
[`flip-link`]: https://github.com/knurling-rs/flip-link
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
#### 1. `flip-link`:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ cargo install flip-link
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### 2. `probe-rs`:
|
|
|
|
``` console
|
|
$ # make sure to install v0.2.0 or later
|
|
$ cargo install probe-rs --features cli
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### 3. [`cargo-generate`]:
|
|
|
|
``` console
|
|
$ cargo install cargo-generate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
[`cargo-generate`]: https://crates.io/crates/cargo-generate
|
|
|
|
> *Note:* You can also just clone this repository instead of using `cargo-generate`, but this involves additional manual adjustments.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
#### 1. Initialize the project template
|
|
|
|
``` console
|
|
$ cargo generate \
|
|
--git https://github.com/knurling-rs/app-template \
|
|
--branch main \
|
|
--name my-app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you look into your new `my-app` folder, you'll find that there are a few `TODO`s in the files marking the properties you need to set.
|
|
|
|
Let's walk through them together now.
|
|
|
|
#### 2. Set `probe-rs` chip
|
|
|
|
Pick a chip from ` probe-rs chip list` and enter it into `.cargo/config.toml`.
|
|
|
|
If, for example, you have a nRF52840 Development Kit from one of [our workshops], replace `{{chip}}` with `nRF52840_xxAA`.
|
|
|
|
[our workshops]: https://github.com/ferrous-systems/embedded-trainings-2020
|
|
|
|
``` diff
|
|
# .cargo/config.toml
|
|
[target.'cfg(all(target_arch = "arm", target_os = "none"))']
|
|
-runner = "probe-rs run --chip {{chip}}"
|
|
+runner = "probe-rs run --chip nRF52840_xxAA"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### 2.1 Pass custom log format
|
|
|
|
You need to use an array of strings instead of a single string for the `runner` if you use a custom log format.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
runner = ["probe-rs", "run", "--chip", "$CHIP", "--log-format", "{L} {s}"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### 3. Adjust the compilation target
|
|
|
|
In `.cargo/config.toml`, pick the right compilation target for your board.
|
|
|
|
``` diff
|
|
# .cargo/config.toml
|
|
[build]
|
|
-target = "thumbv6m-none-eabi" # Cortex-M0 and Cortex-M0+
|
|
-# target = "thumbv7m-none-eabi" # Cortex-M3
|
|
-# target = "thumbv7em-none-eabi" # Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M7 (no FPU)
|
|
-# target = "thumbv7em-none-eabihf" # Cortex-M4F and Cortex-M7F (with FPU)
|
|
+target = "thumbv7em-none-eabihf" # Cortex-M4F (with FPU)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add the target with `rustup`.
|
|
|
|
``` console
|
|
$ rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### 4. Add a HAL as a dependency
|
|
|
|
In `Cargo.toml`, list the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for your board as a dependency.
|
|
|
|
For the nRF52840 you'll want to use the [`nrf52840-hal`].
|
|
|
|
[`nrf52840-hal`]: https://crates.io/crates/nrf52840-hal
|
|
|
|
``` diff
|
|
# Cargo.toml
|
|
[dependencies]
|
|
-# some-hal = "1.2.3"
|
|
+nrf52840-hal = "0.14.0"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
⚠️ Note for RP2040 users ⚠️
|
|
|
|
You will need to not just specify the `rp-hal` HAL, but a BSP (board support crate) which includes a second stage bootloader. Please find a list of available BSPs [here](https://github.com/rp-rs/rp-hal-boards#packages).
|
|
|
|
#### 5. Import your HAL
|
|
|
|
Now that you have selected a HAL, fix the HAL import in `src/lib.rs`
|
|
|
|
``` diff
|
|
// my-app/src/lib.rs
|
|
-// use some_hal as _; // memory layout
|
|
+use nrf52840_hal as _; // memory layout
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### (6. Get a linker script)
|
|
|
|
Some HAL crates require that you manually copy over a file called `memory.x` from the HAL to the root of your project. For nrf52840-hal, this is done automatically so no action is needed. For other HAL crates, you can get it from your local Cargo folder, the default location is under:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
~/.cargo/registry/src/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Not all HALs provide a `memory.x` file, you may need to write it yourself. Check the documentation for the HAL you are using.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### 7. Run!
|
|
|
|
You are now all set to `cargo-run` your first `defmt`-powered application!
|
|
There are some examples in the `src/bin` directory.
|
|
|
|
Start by `cargo run`-ning `my-app/src/bin/hello.rs`:
|
|
|
|
``` console
|
|
$ # `rb` is an alias for `run --bin`
|
|
$ cargo rb hello
|
|
Finished dev [optimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.03s
|
|
flashing program ..
|
|
DONE
|
|
resetting device
|
|
0.000000 INFO Hello, world!
|
|
(..)
|
|
|
|
$ echo $?
|
|
0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you're running out of memory (`flip-link` bails with an overflow error), you can decrease the size of the device memory buffer by setting the `DEFMT_RTT_BUFFER_SIZE` environment variable. The default value is 1024 bytes, and powers of two should be used for optimal performance:
|
|
|
|
``` console
|
|
$ DEFMT_RTT_BUFFER_SIZE=64 cargo rb hello
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### (8. Set `rust-analyzer.linkedProjects`)
|
|
|
|
If you are using [rust-analyzer] with VS Code for IDE-like features you can add following configuration to your `.vscode/settings.json` to make it work transparently across workspaces. Find the details of this option in the [RA docs].
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"rust-analyzer.linkedProjects": [
|
|
"Cargo.toml",
|
|
"firmware/Cargo.toml",
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
## Running tests
|
|
|
|
The template comes configured for running unit tests and integration tests on the target.
|
|
|
|
Unit tests reside in the library crate and can test private API; the initial set of unit tests are in `src/lib.rs`.
|
|
`cargo test --lib` will run those unit tests.
|
|
|
|
``` console
|
|
$ cargo test --lib
|
|
(1/1) running `it_works`...
|
|
└─ app::unit_tests::__defmt_test_entry @ src/lib.rs:33
|
|
all tests passed!
|
|
└─ app::unit_tests::__defmt_test_entry @ src/lib.rs:28
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Integration tests reside in the `tests` directory; the initial set of integration tests are in `tests/integration.rs`.
|
|
`cargo test --test integration` will run those integration tests.
|
|
Note that the argument of the `--test` flag must match the name of the test file in the `tests` directory.
|
|
|
|
``` console
|
|
$ cargo test --test integration
|
|
(1/1) running `it_works`...
|
|
└─ integration::tests::__defmt_test_entry @ tests/integration.rs:13
|
|
all tests passed!
|
|
└─ integration::tests::__defmt_test_entry @ tests/integration.rs:8
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that to add a new test file to the `tests` directory you also need to add a new `[[test]]` section to `Cargo.toml`.
|
|
|
|
## Support
