Hi Karel,
Very interesting work. I am currently trying to reach the same goal.
The steps I came up with are a bit different:
A.) Build working llvm toolchain for RTEMS (figure out all flags etc., maybe
building RTEMS with llvm as a bonus)
B.) Build rustc with the "RTEMS-llvm" as backend
C.) Start with no_std and then inch forward to building the stdlib
I work currently on step A (see my llvm experiments in the other thread) and
started to look at the build stages for rustc.
If you have any tips for the configuration from your step (1), it would be
greatly appreciated.
My hope is that with the results of step A I can reuse the libc from the
standard rtems-gcc build environment as this is provided conveniently via rsb.
I am really looking forward to seeing rust supported on RTEMS.
Best regards,
Jan
PS: Maybe it is worth starting a new thread for exchanging ideas? I don't mean
to hijack Vihas thread.
