    Learn a bit of embedded programming with Rust in a micro:bit v2 by aplanas

    Description

    micro:bit is a small single board computer with a ARM Cortex-M4 with the FPU extension, with a very constrain amount of memory and a bunch of sensors and leds.

    The board is very well documented, with schematics and code for all the features available, so is an excellent platform for learning embedded programming.

    Rust is a system programming language that can generate ARM code, and has crates (libraries) to access the micro:bit hardware. There is plenty documentation about how to make small programs that will run in the micro:bit.

    Goals

    Start learning about embedded programming in Rust, and maybe make some code to the small KS4036F Robot car from keyestudio.

    Diary

    Day 1

    • Start reading https://mb2.implrust.com/abstraction-layers.html
    • Prepare the dev environment (cross compiler, probe-rs)
    • Flash first code in the board (blinky led)
    • Checking differences between BSP and HAL
    • Compile and install a more complex example, with stack protection
    • Reading about the simplicity of xtask, as alias for workspace execution
    • Reading the CPP code of the official micro:bit libraries. They have a font!

    Day 2

    • There are multiple BSP for the microbit. One is using async code for non-blocking operations
    • Download and study a bit the API for microbit-v2, the nRF official crate
    • Take a look of the KS4036F programming, seems that the communication is multiplexed via I2C
    • The motor speed can be selected via PWM (pulse with modulation): power it longer (high frequency), and it will increase the speed
    • Scrolling some text
    • Debug by printing! defmt is a crate that can be used with probe-rs to emit logs
    • Start reading input from the board: buttons
    • The logo can be touched and detected as a floating point value

    Day 3

    • A bit confused how to read the float value from a pin

    Exploring Rust's potential: from basics to security by sferracci

    Description

    This project aims to conduct a focused investigation and practical application of the Rust programming language, with a specific emphasis on its security model. A key component will be identifying and understanding the most common vulnerabilities that can be found in Rust code.

    Goals

    Achieve a beginner/intermediate level of proficiency in writing Rust code. This will be measured by trying to solve LeetCode problems focusing on common data structures and algorithms. Study Rust vulnerabilities and learning best practices to avoid them.

    Arcticwolf - A rust based user space NFS server by vcheng

    Description

    Rust has similar performance to C. Also, have a better async IO module and high integration with io_uring. This project aims to develop a user-space NFS server based on Rust.

    Goals

    • Get an understanding of how cargo works
    • Get an understanding of how XDR was generated with xdrgen
    • Create the RUST-based NFS server that supports basic operations like mount/readdir/read/write

    AI-Powered Unit Test Automation for Agama by joseivanlopez

    The Agama project is a multi-language Linux installer that leverages the distinct strengths of several key technologies:

    • Rust: Used for the back-end services and the core HTTP API, providing performance and safety.
    • TypeScript (React/PatternFly): Powers the modern web user interface (UI), ensuring a consistent and responsive user experience.
    • Ruby: Integrates existing, robust YaST libraries (e.g., yast-storage-ng) to reuse established functionality.

    The Problem: Testing Overhead

    Developing and maintaining code across these three languages requires a significant, tedious effort in writing, reviewing, and updating unit tests for each component. This high cost of testing is a drain on developer resources and can slow down the project's evolution.

    The Solution: AI-Driven Automation

    This project aims to eliminate the manual overhead of unit testing by exploring and integrating AI-driven code generation tools. We will investigate how AI can:

    1. Automatically generate new unit tests as code is developed.
    2. Intelligently correct and update existing unit tests when the application code changes.

    By automating this crucial but monotonous task, we can free developers to focus on feature implementation and significantly improve the speed and maintainability of the Agama codebase.

    Goals

    • Proof of Concept: Successfully integrate and demonstrate an authorized AI tool (e.g., gemini-cli) to automatically generate unit tests.
    • Workflow Integration: Define and document a new unit test automation workflow that seamlessly integrates the selected AI tool into the existing Agama development pipeline.
    • Knowledge Sharing: Establish a set of best practices for using AI in code generation, sharing the learned expertise with the broader team.

    Contribution & Resources

    We are seeking contributors interested in AI-powered development and improving developer efficiency. Whether you have previous experience with code generation tools or are eager to learn, your participation is highly valuable.

    If you want to dive deep into AI for software quality, please reach out and join the effort!

    • Authorized AI Tools: Tools supported by SUSE (e.g., gemini-cli)
    • Focus Areas: Rust, TypeScript, and Ruby components within the Agama project.

    OpenPlatform Self-Service Portal by tmuntan1

    Description

    In SUSE IT, we developed an internal developer platform for our engineers using SUSE technologies such as RKE2, SUSE Virtualization, and Rancher. While it works well for our existing users, the onboarding process could be better.

    To improve our customer experience, I would like to build a self-service portal to make it easy for people to accomplish common actions. To get started, I would have the portal create Jira SD tickets for our customers to have better information in our tickets, but eventually I want to add automation to reduce our workload.

    Goals

    • Build a frontend website (Angular) that helps customers create Jira SD tickets.
    • Build a backend (Rust with Axum) for the backend, which would do all the hard work for the frontend.
