Embedded Rust on Stable! Now that #[panic_handler] is stabilised in 1.30, you can write Cortex-M bare-metal applications with the stable compiler. All our Rust Embedded crates, such as cortex-m, cortex-m-rt and embedded-hal should be ready to use on stable, but please note our two tutorial books Discovery and The Embedded Rust Book still require 1.30 beta or 1.31 beta as they use 2018 edition syntax (which isn't stabilised until the 1.31 release).

If you are able to trial 1.31 beta, you can help us test:

• Minimal const functions (useful for initialising static variables)
• 2018 edition syntax (including changes to use and extern crate)

@thejpster would you want to add this to this week's newsletter?

[thejpster]

Yes, I think so. Is this week's newsletter 15 or 14? I get confused :/

[jamesmunns]

14 is written, but not yet published. 15 will be in 2 weeks or so.

Now that embedded-hal v0.2.2 has arrived, I was able to publish a small handful of crates!

In HAL land, lpc177x_8x-hal got ADC support and stm32l0x1-hal got ADC, timer, plus RS485 support

The new lp55231 crates is a driver for TI's I2C-connected LED driver

And lastly, I published two BSP crates, nucleo-l011k4 and nucleo-l031k6

I've released an experimental PAC alternative for STM32s: stm32ral. It's like the stm32f1/2/3 PACs, but supports all STM32 in one crate. Also it compiles in ~3s!

I would like to include some text to raise awareness for the debugonomicon, and that we would really appreciate some contributors, and reviews of the existing content.

[adamgreig]

We've started the stm32-rs organisation to collate work on STM32 crates.

We've started lpc-rs to work on crates related to LPC microcontrollers by NXP.
