Piotr Esden-TempskiIt is good to sometimes go back to the basics and hand assemble some prototypes. It took me about two full days to assemble and partially test these. When using the Pick and Place machine I can assemble about 1k units in that time 😭(it takes several days to set up the machine so it makes little sense for early prototypes, and I don't have them on panels anyways…) #microcontrollers #debugging #development #PCB #assembly #SMT

N-gated Hacker NewsIn this latest thrilling saga of "Rust #vs #C," we're treated to a riveting tale of #industrial #microcontrollers that's about as exciting as watching #paint dry 🎨. The article somehow stretches a simple choice into a 2604-word #debate that feels longer than a tax code 📜. Spoiler alert: you won't find any groundbreaking revelations here, just another exercise in overcomplicating the obvious 🙄.

Embedded Rust or C Firmware? Lessons from an Industrial Microcontroller Use Case with Ariel OS
As Rust gains traction for developing safer systems software, a reality check for the microcontroller hardware segment becomes necessary. How ready is the Rust ecosystem for this segment? Can Rust compete with C in practice? This paper reports on an IoT industrial case study that contributes to answering these questions. Two teams concurrently developing the same functionality (one in C, one in Rust) are analyzed over a period of several months. A comparative analysis of their approaches, results, and iterative efforts is provided. The analysis and measurements on hardware indicate no strong reason to prefer C over Rust for microcontroller firmware on the basis of memory footprint or execution speed. Furthermore, Ariel OS is shown to provide an efficient and portable system runtime in Rust whose footprint is smaller than that of the state-of-the-art bare-metal C stack traditionally used in this context. It is concluded that Rust is a sound choice today for firmware development in this domain.
