It’s been awhile since the last video, so here’s a deep-dive into the ESP32 bootloaders, where we port Espressif’s second-stage bootloader to Rust:

I love a checklist and this checklist is the best guide I am aware of "how to effectively write async embedded rust drivers for microcontrollers" I am aware of today.
Parts written by myself and @balbi.sh for MCX-A, expanded by @dirbaio.bsky.social for all of embassy.

I'm biased because I helped write part of it (and @balbi.sh has continued adding even more info!), but I think the `embassy-mcxa`'s DEVGUIDE is probably one of the better references now for "how embassy HALs work and how to write a good one", if that's what you're in to.

This paper finds that Rust on an microcontroller costs you about 10% extra flash space, actually saves you a bunch of RAM, and takes no extra time to deliver (as compared to C).
Seems about right - especially as the C version needed a heap and the Rust version did not.
