Re: [threadx-dev] ThreadX and Rust - a demo

Hi Jonathan. 

Thank you for sharing! I am no Rust expert, but I have some knowledge about it. Can you elaborate a bit about the pros of your approach compared to one leveraging no_std? I am just curious.

As the developer of the open-source ISO 26262 qualified Rust toolchain, Ferrocene (https://ferrous-systems.com/ferrocene), we were excited to see that ThreadX will become an open-source safety-certified RTOS under the Eclipse Foundation. More functional safety tools and products should be open source!

 

Inspired by the announcement, I tried to run some Rust code to run on ThreadX, and then wrote a blog about the experience (https://ferrous-systems.com/blog/rust-and-threadx/). I used an nRF52840-DK and it worked out great!

 

In the future, if you are able to supply pre-compiled certified C static libraries (and the corresponding source code), I personally think there’s real scope for using that as part of a functional-safety application written in Rust. Very happy to talk more when the time is right.

 

Best wishes during your transition process,

 

Jonathan
