Rust on the RP2350 (2024)
(thejpster.org.uk)
Today sees the announcement of the latest additions to Raspberry Pi's microcontroller line-up - the RP2350 family. I've had prototype units for a while, and you can run Rust code on it today. To my knowledge this is the first ever microcontroller launch with Rust support out-of-the-box.

Ask HN: Best way to learn STM32 and embedded for beginner
(ycombinator.com)
My google foo is producing garbage - Most tutorials don't go past blinky. Most suggest CubeIDE, others have suggested ChibiOS. I followed some tutorials on stmbase to get a blinky going on a ST Nucleo, but it used a HAL library and it feels like cheating.

F8 – an 8 bit architecture designed for C and memory efficiency [video]
(fosdem.org)
Even in modern devices, 8-bit processors are found, but the architectures used are often not well-suited to programming in high-level languages, such as C. E.g. MCS-51 (8051, 8052) based microcontrollers in the Realtek WiFi chipsets. The f8 is an architecture based on the experience and lessons learned from maintaining Small Device C Compiler (SDCC) and the many 8-bit architectures it supports.
