# HAL for the Vorago VA416xx MCU family
This repository contains the **H**ardware **A**bstraction **L**ayer (HAL), which is an additional
hardware abstraction on top of the [peripheral access API](https://egit.irs.uni-stuttgart.de/rust/va416xx).
It is the result of reading the datasheet for the device and encoding a type-safe layer over the
raw PAC. This crate also implements traits specified by the
[embedded-hal](https://github.com/rust-embedded/embedded-hal) project, making it compatible with
various drivers in the embedded rust ecosystem.
## Supported Boards
The first way to use this HAL will probably be with the
[PEB1 development board](https://www.voragotech.com/products/peb1va416x0-development-kit).
The BSP provided for this board also contains instructions how to flash the board.
## Building
Building an application requires the `thumbv7em-none-eabihf` cross-compiler toolchain.
If you have not installed it yet, you can do so with
```sh
rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf
```
After that, you can use `cargo build` to build the development version of the crate.
If you have not done this yet, it is recommended to read some of the excellent resources
available to learn Rust:
- [Rust Embedded Book](https://docs.rust-embedded.org/book/)
- [Rust Discovery Book](https://docs.rust-embedded.org/discovery/)
## Using the `.cargo/config.toml` file
Use the following command to have a starting `config.toml` file
```sh
cp .cargo/def-config.toml .cargo/config.toml
```
You then can adapt the `config.toml` to your needs. For example, you can configure runners
to conveniently flash with `cargo run`.
