A simple program for the TI MSP432P401R launchpad which uses the msp432p401r crate

This is a very simple Rust program for the TI MSP432 Launchpad which demonstrates use of the msp432p401r crate.

Embedded systems code written in Rust can fail to work depending on changes in the version of the nightly compiler used. You can check this article which explains how to use the tm4c123x crate for programming the Texas Instruments Tiva/Stellaris launchpads - the same toolchain setup should be used for building the code in this repository also. You will have to use UniFlash for flash programming (rather than lm4flash).

Once the toolchain is installed, you can build the code by running:

make release

The binary is copied to the upload folder and its name is msp432.release.bin. You can use UniFlash to flash this code and you will see the RGB LED on the MSP432 Launchpad lighting up!

msp432-newio's Issues

error: unknown debugging option: `linker-flavor`

Quick question:

I've cloned this repo on Ubuntu 20, but cargo build --release fails with various errors.

error: failed to run `rustc` to learn about target-specific information

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `rustc - --crate-name ___ --print=file-names -C link-arg=-Tlink.x -C linker=arm-none-eabi-ld -Z linker-flavor=ld --target thumbv7em-none-eabihf --crate-type bin --crate-type rlib --crate-type dylib --crate-type cdylib --crate-type staticlib --crate-type proc-macro --print=sysroot --print=cfg` (exit code: 1)
  --- stderr
  error: unknown debugging option: `linker-flavor`

Would you be willing to provide further instructions as how to use rust example code for the MSP432?

Thanks,
