TL;DR It's an offline/online/remote Rust code sprint with a focus on
European/African time zones/locations but everyone's welcome no matter their
time zone/location.

The event will last two days: November 19 and 20.

It seems like a great opportunity to get together and work on embedded stuff.
We can use the #rust-embedded IRC channel to coordinate our work.

We are currently discussing what we could work on in rust-community/novemb.rs#4.
The discussion went a little off topic but I've posted what areas I think we
could focus on in my latest comment (see the etherpad link).

Please fill the list in the etherpad if you'd like to participate and let's
discuss about the "focus areas" on that thread.

We had a great and productive time during novemb.rs!

Here's a list of accomplishments during that weekend:

  • The number of LEDs blinked using Rust increased exponentially. 😄

  • The number of "permanent" people in the #rust-embedded channel increased by ~50%. Welcome all!

  • An easy to use allocator crate for Cortex-M microcontrollers: alloc-cortex-m.

  • A few low level crates to manipulate registers popped up. All auto-generated using svd2rust.
  • One high level crate to manipulate the STM32F411E-DISCO board.

  • Someone managed to debug a microcontroller program from within Visual Studio.

  • Someone managed to build a microcontroller program on Eclipse using the EclipseDT plugin. (Though it was rather hard but I hope it'll be much easier in the future)

  • We heard a success story about using Rust on embedded Linux. (Sorry, #rust-embedded has no logs)

  • A crate to interface the PN532, a NFC/RFID controller.

Thanks to all the participants. Let's e-meet again sometime in the future!
