Introduction to Rust for Safety Critical Systems

A one-day workshop with senior embedded engineer Jonathan Pallant to get an overview into how Rust can be used as part of your functional-safety and high-security systems, including a look at Ferrocene, the ISO26262- and IEC61508-qualified Rust toolchain.

Topics will include:

1. What Ferrocene is, and isn’t
2. Using criticalup to install Ferrocene
3. Living without cargo
4. Building #![no_std] applications
5. Testing in QEMU
6. Wrapping a C API - looking at Rust on ThreadX and FreeRTOS
   
   

Pre-requisites:

Attendees should be systems programmers familiar with developing basic Rust CLI applications, along with a familiarity with Rust terms like traits and generics.
No experience with no-std development is required.
