tock_kernel

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides guidance and examples for implementing Tock kernel patterns, Hardware Interface Layer (HIL) traits, and embedded Rust conventions for chip implementations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Project Structure: Illustrates the typical directory layout for Tock projects.
• HIL Traits: Demonstrates how to implement hardware abstraction using Rust traits.
• Static Allocation: Emphasizes the use of static allocation in the kernel.
• Deferred Calls: Shows how to handle asynchronous operations without threads.
• Register Access: Provides examples of using the tock_registers crate.
• Error Handling: Outlines Tock's error types and common codes.
• Interrupt Handling: Demonstrates interrupt service routines.
• Component Pattern: Explains the component pattern for board initialization.
• Documentation: Highlights the importance of documenting public items.

Quick Start

Refer to the Tock kernel patterns for implementing chip-specific drivers.
