Rusty Feather

About the Project

Rusty Feather is an experiment with Rust on the Adafruit RP2040 Feather and several Feather and StemmaQT boards.

Getting Started

Make sure you have the latest stable version of Rust installed, along with the right target support.

rustup self update
rustup update stable
rustup target add thumbv6m-none-eabi

Other stuff?

#cargo install cargo-hf2
cargo install elf2uf2-rs --locked
cargo install cargo-binutils

Next, clone the project.

git clone https://github.com/jstevej/rusty-feather.git

Build, check size, convert from elf to hf2, load on RP2040.

cargo build --release
cargo size --release
cargo size --release --bin rusty-feather -- -A
elf2uf2-rs target/thumbv6m-none-eabi/release/rusty-feather rusty-feather.uf2
cp rusty-feather.uf2 /Volumes/RPI-RP2

There are probably a lot of options out there for accessing the USB serially, but the simplest is screen. First, take a look at ls /dev/tty.* and figure out which one is the RP2040. Then, run screen /dev/tty.yourRP2040. Use Ctrl-A Ctrl-D to exit screen.

Useful tool: cargo tree and cargo tree -d (show duplicates).

How to update Cargo.toml dependencies?

If starting from scratch note the following:

• add .cargo/config from here
• add memory.x to project root from here
