# Building Rust embedded firmware on BSD
|
|
|
|
Using the Rust stable compiler from the BSD ports is mostly a matter of removing the arbitrary limitations that have been built into the Rust toolchain.
|
|
|
|
Get rid of the "nightly toolchain" check in cargo-xbuild:
|
|
```
|
|
diff --git a/src/lib.rs b/src/lib.rs
|
|
index 204ad8f..9c61e39 100644

let cmode = if let Some(triple) = args.target() {
|
|
if triple == meta.host {
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run ``cargo install --path .`` to install the modified cargo-xbuild
|
|
|
|
Get a copy of the Rust sources that corresponds to the installed compiler binary, and set up the environment accordingly:
|
|
```
|
|
> rustc --version
|
|
rustc 1.72.1 (d5c2e9c34 2023-09-13) (built from a source tarball)
|
|
> git clone --depth=1 --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules https://github.com/rust-lang/rust --branch 1.72.1
|
|
> export XARGO_RUST_SRC=`pwd`/rust/library
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Disable other arbitrary checks in the Rust compiler:
|
|
```
|
|
> export RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And you can now simply run ``cargo xbuild`` to build the firmware.
