  I have not seen any of the avr library crate implement functionality for that, but I might have missed something. It should be possible to place a string in flash by doing something like:

  #[link_section=".progmem"]
  pub static my_var2: [u8; 8]  = *b"deadbeef";
  

  As far as reading I am not quite sure. On some devices I think you should be able to just use read_volatile, but with devices with more memory I think a little bit of assembly might be possible. Take this with a grain of salt as I have not tried it myself.

  For the atmega328 I think this should work. I have not tested it but it does compile. let result;

  let addr = my_var2.as_ptr();
      unsafe{
          llvm_asm!(
              "lpm $0, Z\n\t"
              : "=r"(result)
              : "=z"(addr)
              : "Z"
              : volatile
          );
      }

  Dylan McKay @dylanmckay Sep 26 2017 09:21 @neu-rah LLVM is much nicer than GCC in this regard it will never be necessary to have to think about address spaces when loading/storing in any case, because the LLVM language annotates variables with address spaces and generates the correct instruction transparently for example (assume we have an attribute to mark a static as in program memory, which we currently do not)

  static NAME_PROGMEM: &'static str =  "hello world"; // program memory
  static NAME_RAM: &'static str = "foo bar"; // RAM
  fn main() {
      let length_progmem = NAME_PROGMEM.len();
      let length_ram = NAME_RAM.len();
      ...
  } 
  

  this program will work fine - if Rust marks a variable as in program memory, LLVM will automatically generate a lpm instruction to load from program memory, as opposed to the ld[d] instruction that is usually used for RAM because of this, the Rust code will be indifferent to address space, and we will never need any manky hacks like (PGM_P)pgm_read_word(&(string_table[i])), which GCC uses [1] [1] http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/pgmspace.html

  Hello everyone I am looking to make some custom firmware for my usb rubber ducky from the original firmware source https://github.com/hak5darren/USB-Rubber-Ducky/blob/master/Firmware/Source/Ducky_HID/Framework.config I have gathered that the chip is a Atmel AT32UC3B http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/doc32059.pdf and its avr32. I've tried to build the example avr target project thing (build --target avr-unknown-gnu-atmega328 -Z build-std=core --all --release) but it always fails with the following error Compiling compiler_builtins v0.1.49 Compiling avr-std-stub v1.0.3 LLVM ERROR: Not supported instr: <MCInst 312 > error: could not compile compiler_builtins Process finished with exit code 101 Can someone help me get this setup properly or fix this error rahix @rahix:matrix.org [m] Oct 18 15:46 you need an older rust compiler, use nightly-2021-01-07

  jatsekku @jatsekku:matrix.org [m] Nov 07 05:12 Hi guys! it's not stricte rusty but today i wanted to play with arduino on my arch (5.10.77-3-lts) and I can't connect to bootloader using ravedude/arduino IDE It's based on CH340 and I was getting error avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00 some weeks ago everything was fine but it's not working anymore, I tried to load 'fixed' module: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ch34x-dkms-git/ but it didn't help. Do you have any ideas?

avr-binutils linker

• Aug 23 2017 14:38

  Dylan McKay @dylanmckay Aug 23 2017 14:38 I think that we'd have to rely on avr-binutils being installed - Rust does not currently use the LLVM linker (it's under the LLVM project, but it's a completely separate library) The function issue is the main one I'm worried about. All of the others have only occurred in libcore, and we commented those parts out I don't think that'd be a problem, I'm sure the ARM Rust target also relies on the ARM binutils linker the compiler-builtins crate would also solve our problems, including the shift operator missing symbol thing of course, it wouldn't be very hard to enable AVR for compiler-rt if we did want to use that library though (or even compiler-rt), we'd have to roll our own versions of the AVR-GCC routines with custom calling conventions and merge it there

  Cupnfish 发表于 2020-08-27 17:48 在Arduino Uno上面跑 Rust 程序

  很久之前，为了在 Arduino上跑 Rust，还必须安装专门经过改造支持 AVR 的 Rust 编译器 ：rust-avr 。 一个月之前，rust-avr 已经被合并到了 Rust master 分支，这意味着你在 Nightly 下就可以玩 Arduino了。

  并且包含了一本新书 The AVR-Rust Guidebook ： https://book.avr-rust.com/

  rust-avr 项目官网： https://www.avr-rust.com/

  这篇文章就是一个教程。
