summary
Demonstrates running much of the Rust standard library on high-end MCUs by building ThreadX RTOS bindings in safe no‑std Rust and using them to provide allocators, sync primitives, time, and stdio; claims work on dual‑core chips (800 MHz and 300 MHz) with 1.5 MB on‑chip RAM and optional external RAM/flash, and adds RP2040 support. Network stack is partial: a full ENET driver implements IPv4/TCP/UDP while standard lib networking is basic UDP. QEMU emulation and Cargo‑based builds are supported and the project is open source.
