Fun with Rusty Robots
summary
Rust runs on Lego EV3 Linux, Raspberry Pi and ARM Cortex-M and even replaces C in a real‑time EV3 build; an experimental latency tester measures 50 ms spikes but switching to an RT kernel yields sub‑millisecond responsiveness. Built examples include a line‑follower and Sumo bot that react in real time. Tooling: cargo-xbuild and sargot to rebuild libcore, linker tweaks to shrink a ~1 MB binary, and RTFM for hardware scheduling; AVR support remains fragile.
