Use aarch64-unknown-none target in nightly 🎉
We have a generic target for writing bare-metal code
for 64-bit ARM architectures in upstream Rust now.

Use it to get rid of the fully custom target spec.

Tutorial 09 - Delays

It is very important to wait precise amounts of time while you are interfacing with low level hardware. In this tutorial, we'll cover thee ways. One is CPU frequency dependent (and useful if wait time is given in CPU clock cycles), the other two are µs based.

delays.rs

delays::wait_cycles(cyc: u32) this is very straightforward, we execute the nop instruction n times.

delays::wait_msec(n: u32) this implementation uses ARM system registers (available on all AArch64 CPUs).

delays::SysTmr::wait_msec_st(&self, n: u64) is a BCM specific implementation, which uses the System Timer peripheral (not available on qemu).

uart.rs

We can now conveniently use delays::wait_cycles() in Uart::init().

main.rs

We test our different wait implementations.
