Rust BSP for bluefruit

Post by sullyj3 »

Hi there!

Is there any chance of Adafruit putting out a rust board support package for the Circuit Playground Bluefruit, as they have for the Circuit Playground Express?

It's not ours, but this might be helpful.

https://github.com/blueluna/circuit-pla ... -bluefruit

Did we actually put out rust code or was it someone else that provided it for the Circuit Playground Express? I saw these two repos which had CPX support.

Ah, my mistake if the CPX support package in https://github.com/atsamd-rs/atsamd was third party. I assumed Adafruit was behind it somehow.

Yeah, I did see that blueluna experiments repo. I wasn't sure whether it was possible to make that work without buying a J-Link as mentioned in the Readme, whereas I got the impression from the CPX readme that the CPX support package just required you to connect up the device via regular USB, as you would if you were using Circuitpython.

I was hoping for something a bit more high level to work with, as I've not done any embedded programming more advanced than Circuitpython.

Thanks very much for taking the time to look around for me though!

We have several guides that cover jlink connections on the SAMD family of processors. Even though it requires getting a bit more low level it's definitely a useful skill and a $20 programmer. I recommend picking one up in case your controllers ever "brick".
