Introduction to Embedded Rust for intermediate to advanced participants (for Hakkaa-Board workshop)
2025-12-27 , SoS Lecture 6

Introduction to Embedded Rust on Microcontrollers and the Hakkaa workshop task. This introduction is mostly aimed at participants with some experience in Rust.

For everyone who has already taken their first steps with Rust and can't wait to get knee-deep into using Rust on a Microcontroller. It aims to show you the little differences of this environment, presenting the workshop challenge and pointing you in the right direction for getting started.

For absolute beginners we recommend to attend Rust programming language: An absolute beginner workshop with intro presentation first and then our second round of this introduction on day three.

This session starts with a presentation of about 30 minutes in English and a round of questions for all. After that, our team supports you with your first self-paced steps.

The initial part of the presentation covers using Rust on a microcontroller in general. The second part focuses on working with the Hakkaa board.

If you've got a question after this session, you can find us at the Hakkaatachi assembly or in our Matrix chat.

We recommend:

  • Having a soldered and tested Hakkaa-Board (whose kit you can get at the Hakkaatachi assembly)
  • Your laptop set up with the development tooling so that you can spend more time on programming than on installing
  • Your laptop fully charged
