Blink An LED On a PIC32 With Rust, Easily

Blink An LED On a PIC32 With Rust, Easily
By Donald Papp

Got a PIC32 microcontroller and a healthy curiousity about the Rust programming language and its low-level capabilities, but unsure how to squash the two of them together with a minimum of hassle? If that’s the case, then today is your lucky day!

[Harry Gill] has you covered with his primer on programming a PIC32 with Rust, which will have you blinking an LED in no time. [Harry] admits that when he got started, his microcontroller programming skills were a bit rusty, so don’t let yourself think setting this up is beyond your abilities. If you have a working knowledge of the basics of microcontroller programming, you’ll be fine. [Harry] had to jump through a few hoops to get the right tools working, but thoughtfully documented the necessary steps, and provides a bare minimum hardware list.

Unsure what Rust is or what it offers? Check out the basics here, and see if it’s something that interests you. If you want to look even deeper, check out the kind of work that goes into writing a bare metal kernel in Rust.
