  • Weird Autocomplete Behavior with rust-embedded Template

    This paragraph is to just give context that everything else has been setup correctly. I have installed all prerequisites and can successfully run cargo generate --git https://github.com/rust-embedded/cortex-m-quickstart. I have edited memory.x as mentioned, and .cargo/config.toml to specify my MCU. I then run cargo build, change my debug configuration to Debug (OpenOCD), hit F5 and successfully reach the first breakpoint.

    I'm latching onto a non-main argument to be pedantic, but I'd like to mention that Rust is fine for _non-embedded_ kernel development too, in my experience.

    As you're likely aware, Rust for embedded sucks when there's no HAL, but should be very pleasant otherwise. Have you looked into the cortex-a[1] crate?

    Some unnecessary instructions could also be a part of an ongoing optimization effort[2][3].

    It looks like you can. I have no experience with this but you can also check out the rust channel of the embedded engineers discord for help if you hit a snag.
