I don’t know enough about rust to see the bile; this reads to me as a good-natured poking fun at one’s own group. Like you have to be immersed pretty deep in rust culture to even be able to conceive of this let alone get it to compile. To be clear: if I *just* saw the README I might agree, but the code suggests more familiarity than that</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@maehw" class="u-url mention">@<span>maehw</span></a></span> on a second thought, they are definitely using a HAL, the way resets are controlled for a peripheral has all hallmarks (ha!) of it</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@maehw" class="u-url mention">@<span>maehw</span></a></span> it just uses a few USARTs (i think 1, 2, and 6 at least, but i haven't fully traced the board yet) and an SDMMC peripheral. and GPIOA bank. nothing else as far as i can tell, very conservatively written</p><p>probably C, and definitely no OS</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> do you think it has been manually coded (C code?) and runs bare metal? Seeing the bootloader approach let's me guess that they may also have used STM32 HAL/LL code. Or aren't there any other peripherals than the GPS/navigation module? Generated code for math stuff?</p>
