Any plans to port book on Cortex-M / embedded Rust ?

I see a lot of STM32-based mini and very cheap boards in all local and online electronic & DIY stores.

This book is great, but it focuses on Risc-V is still not so popular now.

I think that playing with a cheap but real hardware would be more interesting as it has some practical value -- IoT is fun, and code also applicable in a professional area too.

Anyway, I'm not sure about embedded Rust for beginners. The language looks like made for professionals doing something safety-hardened (automotive/industrial/medical) as it has too many syntax and semantics glitches over the code syntax. In C, the complexity stays only in pointers, and lack of almost any data structures at all.

👋 Big +1. Playing with a real-world hardware is a real fun. I chose RISC-V + C + QEMU virt stack because: RISC-V is a simple ISA w/o tech debts, C doesn't have abstractions that make hard to debug (I love Rust tho), and QEMU virt is available to everyone for free.

I'm working on a new general-purpose OS in Rust nowadays, so I might write something as a part of its documentation.
