Merge #550
550: Release 0.6.0-rc.3 due to breaking change in rtic-syntax naming of shared and local r=korken89 a=AfoHT

`rtic-syntax` got the old multicore concept of `Locations` removed, see https://github.com/rtic-rs/rtic-syntax/pull/61

This updates `cortex-m-rtic` to match this

Real-Time Interrupt-driven Concurrency

A concurrency framework for building real-time systems.

Formerly known as Real-Time For the Masses.

crates.io docs.rs book rustc matrix Meeting notes

Features

  • Tasks as the unit of concurrency 1. Tasks can be event triggered (fired in response to asynchronous stimuli) or spawned by the application on demand.

  • Message passing between tasks. Specifically, messages can be passed to software tasks at spawn time.

  • A timer queue 2. Software tasks can be scheduled to run at some time in the future. This feature can be used to implement periodic tasks.

  • Support for prioritization of tasks and, thus, preemptive multitasking.

  • Efficient and data race free memory sharing through fine grained priority based critical sections 1.

  • Deadlock free execution guaranteed at compile time. This is a stronger guarantee than what's provided by the standard Mutex abstraction.

  • Minimal scheduling overhead. The task scheduler has minimal software footprint; the hardware does the bulk of the scheduling.

  • Highly efficient memory usage: All the tasks share a single call stack and there's no hard dependency on a dynamic memory allocator.

  • All Cortex-M devices are fully supported.

  • This task model is amenable to known WCET (Worst Case Execution Time) analysis and scheduling analysis techniques. (Though we haven't yet developed Rust friendly tooling for that.)

Requirements

  • Applications must be written using the 2018 edition.

Crate cortex-m 0.6 vs 0.7 in RTIC 0.5.x

The crate cortex-m 0.7 started using trait InterruptNumber for interrupts instead of Nr from bare-metal. In order to preserve backwards compatibility, RTIC 0.5.x will keep using cortex-m 0.6 by default. cortex-m 0.7 can be enabled using the feature cortex-m-7 and disabling default features:

cortex-m-rtic = { version = "0.5.8", default-features = false, features = ["cortex-m-7"] }

RTIC 0.6 already uses cortex-m 0.7 by default.

Running tests locally

To check all Run-pass tests locally on your thumbv6m-none-eabi or thumbv7m-none-eabi target device, run

$ cargo xtask --target <your target>
#                       ˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆ
#                   e.g. thumbv7m-none-eabi
