Rust on the Stellaris Launchpad

A bare metal example program written in Rust (https://rust-lang.org) for the Stellaris Launchpad (LM4F120 dev board). May also work on the very closely related Tiva-C TM4C123 Launchpad.

The idea is that useful functionality will be moved out into separate crates. I'm also in the process of replacing the lm4f120 crate with tm4c123x-hal; the TM4C123 line replaced the LM4F120 whilst being almost perfectly compatible. The new crate also does things in a different way, particularly around peripherals being singletons (which makes your code safer). At some point I'll switch this crate to use tm4c123x-hal.

Requirements

  • rustc nightly
  • arm-none-eabi-gcc
  • arm-none-eabi-ar
  • arm-none-eabi-objcopy

Geting set up

git clone https://github.com/thejpster/launchpad-rs.git
cd ./launchpad-rs
rustup install nightly
rustup component add rust-src
rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf

or simply

git clone https://github.com/thejpster/launchpad-rs.git
cd ./launchpad-rs
make prerequisites

Compile and upload

cargo build --example launchpad_blink
arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/examples/launchpad_blink target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/examples/launchpad_blink.bin
sudo lm4flash target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/examples/launchpad_blink.bin

You can also debug

~/launchpad-rs $ sudo openocd -f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/board/ek-lm4f120xl.cfg
~/launchpad-rs $ arm-none-eabi-gdb ./target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/examples/launchpad_blink

What works:

  • UART works, using the on-board UART-to-USB bridge (115200 bps, 8N1)
  • PLL runs at 66.7MHz
  • SysTick works at 4MHz, providing a timer a currently use for the busy-waits
  • GPIO works - you can control the on-board RGB LED
  • Timer works - you can drive GPIOs (including the LED) with PWM
  • Panic handler works - it quickly flashes the red LED if it panics or hits a hardfault
