Installing the tools
This page contains OS-agnostic installation instructions for a few of the tools:
Rust Toolchain
Install rustup by following the instructions at https://rustup.rs.
NOTE Make sure you have a compiler version equal to or newer than 1.31
. rustc -V
should return a date newer than the one shown below.
$ rustc -V
rustc 1.31.1 (b6c32da9b 2018-12-18)
For bandwidth and disk usage concerns the default installation only supports
native compilation. To add cross compilation support for the ARM Cortex-M
architectures choose one of the following compilation targets. For the STM32F3DISCOVERY
board used for the examples in this book, use the final thumbv7em-none-eabihf
target.
Cortex-M0, M0+, and M1 (ARMv6-M architecture):
$ rustup target add thumbv6m-none-eabi
Cortex-M3 (ARMv7-M architecture):
$ rustup target add thumbv7m-none-eabi
Cortex-M4 and M7 without hardware floating point (ARMv7E-M architecture):
$ rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabi
Cortex-M4F and M7F with hardware floating point (ARMv7E-M architecture):
$ rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf
cargo-binutils
$ cargo install cargo-binutils
$ rustup component add llvm-tools-preview
cargo-generate
We'll use this later to generate a project from a template.
$ cargo install cargo-generate
