Rust on the Stellaris Launchpad

A bare metal example program written in Rust (https://rust-lang.org) for the Stellaris Launchpad (LM4F120 dev board). May also work on the very closely related Tiva-C TM4C123 Launchpad.

The idea is that useful functionality will be moved out into separate crates. I'm also in the process of replacing the lm4f120 crate with tm4c123x-hal; the TM4C123 line replaced the LM4F120 whilst being almost perfectly compatible. The new crate also does things in a different way, particularly around peripherals being singletons (which makes your code safer). At some point I'll switch this crate to use tm4c123x-hal.

Requirements

Geting set up

bash git clone https://github.com/thejpster/launchpad-rs.git cd ./launchpad-rs rustup install nightly rustup component add rust-src rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf

or simply

bash git clone https://github.com/thejpster/launchpad-rs.git cd ./launchpad-rs make prerequisites

Compile and upload

bash cargo build --example launchpad_blink arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/examples/launchpad_blink target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/examples/launchpad_blink.bin sudo lm4flash target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/examples/launchpad_blink.bin

You can also debug

~/launchpad-rs $ sudo openocd -f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/board/ek-lm4f120xl.cfg ~/launchpad-rs $ arm-none-eabi-gdb ./target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/examples/launchpad_blink (gdb) target remote localhost:3333 (gdb) load Loading section .text, size 0x1e98 lma 0x0 Loading section .ARM.exidx, size 0x8 lma 0x1e98 Loading section .data, size 0xc lma 0x1ea0 Start address 0x0, load size 7852 Transfer rate: 7 KB/sec, 2617 bytes/write.
