microbit contains everything required to get started with the use of Rust to create firmwares for the fabulous BBC micro:bit microcontroller board. This little board has everything and a kitchen sink built-in, even a capable debugging interface, so all that one needs to get going with programming this device is:
Some very preliminary examples of using this crate can be found here in this repo or here on my blog.
A guide to embedded development with Rust on the microbit using this crate can be found in the MicroRust book.
The BBC micro:bit and this crate is compatible with the fantastic tooling
provided by the [knurling] project. If you haven't done so already, installing
probe-run and playing around with the examples is highly recommended:
```bash
Compiling microbit v0.8.0
Finished release [optimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 15.39s
