libtock-rs

Rust userland library for Tock (WIP)

Getting Started

This project is nascent and still under heavy development, but first steps:

Ensure you have rustup installed.

Clone the repository and install its submodules.

git clone https://github.com/tock/libtock-rs
git submodule update --init

Add dependencies for xargo.
```
rustup component add rust-src
```
Use the run_example script to compile and run the example app you want to use:
```
./run_example.sh blink
```
This should work if you are using the nRF52DK platform. For other platforms, you will end up with a TAB file in target/ that you can program onto your Tock board (e.g. with tockloader install target/blink.tab).

Using libtock-rs

The easiest way to start using libtock-rs is adding an example to the examples folder. The boiler plate code you would write is

#![no_std]

extern crate tock;

fn main() { 
  // Your code
}

If you want to use heap based allocation you will have to add

#![feature(alloc)]
extern crate alloc;

to the preamble.

To run on the code on your board you can use

./run_example.sh <your app>

This script does the following steps for you:

cross-compile your program using xargo
create a TAB (tock application bundle)
if you have a nrf52-dk board connected: flash this TAB to your board (using tockloader)
