Bare Metal Audio Programming With Rust - Antoine van Gelder - ADC20
---
Rust is starting to develop a reputation as a practical alternative to C or C++ for systems programming and other performance sensitive tasks.

At the same time new families of dirt cheap microcontrollers featuring unparalleled levels of processing power are becoming more accessible to professional and hobbyist alike.

Rust's emphasis on memory safety, performance and high-level abstraction make it uniquely suited to the the task of writing glitch-free realtime audio systems to power a new generation of embedded musical hardware.

In this talk I'll share my experience using Rust for bare metal audio programming on the STM32 family of microcontrollers.

Along the way I'll lift the lid a little on the ins and outs of audio on embedded systems.

We'll look at an audio codec chip.
I'll explain how to interface it with a microcontroller using I2C & I2S protocols.
Finally, we'll program a DMA controller and I'll share the joy of using type-level programming to interface directly with hardware registers without crashing your code.
This talk is written for an intermediate audience but does not assume prior knowledge of Rust, embedded programming or digital electronics.
