Integrating rustix on NuttX
Hi Rust experts, we are willing to integrate rustix on NuttX RTOS, the initial effort was done by rustix author: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rustix/tree/nuttx but it hit the wall since we don't know the right way to integrate cargo with the old-school NuttX's Makefiles. Any help or suggestion is welcome. More about NuttX here: https://nuttx.apache.org and here: https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/

Embedded Systems Weekly #116
Open Source Autopilot for Drone Developers PX4 is an advanced and open source autopilot flight stack for drones. PX4 can flight completely autonomously for pre-programmed missions, or, obviously, it can help a pilot who remote-controls the drone. It runs on NuttX RTOS.

How to contribute to open source or Linux kernel?
Microcontrollers are a good start. Boards are cheap and sensors are plentiful. You could get a yet unsupported board and port RIOT, Zephyr or NuttX.

Comp Sci Student Interested in Embedded
RIOT-OS is somewhat popular in academia, it tries to be very approachable but there are still plenty of low hanging fruits with all kinds of hardware and you can use it for software and thesis projects.

Looking for a GitHub repo which contains unit tests
RIOT-OS has a lot of unit tests for all the boards they support. And it's written in C. https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/tree/master/tests

What's the best book and microcontroller to learn embedded design?
Another option is using RIOT-OS. But that unfortunately doesn't support PWM for the Weact. It does support PWM for the Bluepill and Blackpill STM32f103 and the Nucleo-f446 After quick search. \ https://riot-os.org

What should I buy to begin learning embedded systems development?
If you want to use C, I would suggest trying out RIOT-OS. It's a modern embedded operating system, written in C and focussed on IOT. It works on a lot of different boards. https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT

Programming arduino in actual C
Alternatively, you can also write your code in an RTOS. They often have scripts that make flashing and debugging easy. One that I personally like, and also supports Arduino, is RIOT-OS.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing nuttx and RIOT you can also consider the following projects:
zephyr - Primary Git Repository for the Zephyr Project. Zephyr is a new generation, scalable, optimized, secure RTOS for multiple hardware architectures.
FreeRTOS-Kernel - FreeRTOS kernel files only, submoduled into https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS and various other repos.
stm32-bootloader - Customizable Bootloader for STM32 microcontrollers. This example demonstrates how to perform in-application-programming of a firmware located on an external SD card with FAT32 file system.
