rtic VS cortex-m-quickstart

There's also RTIC which is another framework that makes concurrency trivial.

At Telecom Paris, one of the top engineering schools in France, we teach Rust to undergraduate and graduate students who specialize in Embedded Systems. They get to use Rust and RTIC on STM32 based boards, and they also use Embassy for some projects.

If you want something more cutting edge. Try embedded Rust and checkout RTIC. I don't know if it's the real next thing. But i guess it could be fun to try.

RTIC is still going strong, they are working on a 2.0 release at the moment :). There's also now embassy which provides an async runtime (and a ton of other nice things) for embedded as well :)

RTIC - RTOS and task scheduling

That's completely incorrect. The existing ecosystem focuses on web/IO because that's were Async/Await is already being used in other languages so everyone started there. There is significant interest in writing frameworks using async rust in embedded, but the required compiler features for it are still not stable. Check out embassy. Even RTIC has experiments with async.

But neither of them might be usable in you case. Since it looks like you're running bare-metal, a framework like RTIC can give you a initialization function and then pass "static" data to a struct that is shared between all tasks.

FYI, RTFM has been renamed to RTIC

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.
