Project Description

As I do not work as a developer per se, I love developing new code and learning new technologies that arise in this world. The Rust language is defined as Rust is a multi-paradigm, general-purpose programming language. Rust emphasizes performance, type safety, and concurrency.

Goal for this Hackweek

During this Hackweek 21 I'd like to learn this "new" language and maybe take some challenges from codewars.com in order to check my results.

      I'm doing the same, exploring the Rust language using also these other resources:

      Me too, following: - https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/rust-by-example/index.html

      I'm using Eclipse as IDE (https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/photon/rc3/eclipse-ide-rust-developers), it's not the latest version, but it works fine.

    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

    Learn how to use the Relm4 Rust GUI crate by xiaoguang_wang

    Relm4 is based on gtk4-rs and compatible with libadwaita. The gtk4-rs crate provides all the tools necessary to develop applications. Building on this foundation, Relm4 makes developing more idiomatic, simpler, and faster.

    Looking at Rust if it could be an interesting programming language by jsmeix

    Get some basic understanding of Rust security related features from a general point of view.

    This Hack Week project is not to learn Rust to become a Rust programmer. This might happen later but it is not the goal of this Hack Week project.

    The goal of this Hack Week project is to evaluate if Rust could be an interesting programming language.

    An interesting programming language must make it easier to write code that is correct and stays correct when over time others maintain and enhance it than the opposite.

    Build a terminal user-interface (TUI) for Agama by IGonzalezSosa

    Description

    Officially, Agama offers two different user interfaces. On the one hand, we have the web-based interface, which is the one you see when you run the installation media. On the other hand, we have a command-line interface. In both cases, you can use them using a remote system, either using a browser or the agama CLI.

    We would expect most of the cases to be covered by this approach. However, if you cannot use the web-based interface and, for some reason, you cannot access the system through the network, your only option is to use the CLI. This interface offers a mechanism to modify Agama's configuration using an editor (vim, by default), but perhaps you might want to have a more user-friendly way.

    Goals

    The main goal of this project is to built a minimal terminal user-interface for Agama. This interface will allow the user to install the system providing just a few settings (selecting a product, a storage device and a user password). Then it should report the installation progress.

    • https://ratatui.rs/

    Conclusions

    We have summarized our conclusions in a pull request. It includes screenshots ;-) We did not implement all the features we wanted, but we learn a lot during the process. We know that, if needed, we could write a TUI for Agama and we have an idea about how to build it. Good enough.

    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.
