hello Example in Rust
This example demonstrates how to use Rust's powerful features in a NuttX environment, including:
- JSON Serialization/Deserialization: Using the popular serde and serde_json crates to work with JSON data
- Async Runtime: Demonstrates basic usage of the tokio async runtime
- C Interoperability: Shows how to expose Rust functions to be called from C code
Key Features
- JSON Handling
- Defines a Person struct with Serialize and Deserialize traits
- Serializes Rust structs to JSON strings
- Deserializes JSON strings into Rust structs
- Demonstrates pretty-printing JSON
- Async Runtime
- Initializes a single-threaded tokio runtime
- Runs a simple async task that prints a message
- C Interop
- Exports hello_rust_cargo_main function with #[no_mangle] for C calling
- Uses extern "C" to define the C ABI
The example shows how Rust's modern features can be used in embedded systems while maintaining compatibility with C-based systems.
This example serves as a foundation for building more complex Rust applications in NuttX that need to handle JSON data and async operations.
