Exploits Club Summary:
The Android team over at Google released a practical walkthrough for deploying Rust into existing firmware codebases. The post walks through the potential use cases and challenges, what components might make good candidates for replacement, how to pick a well-maintained,Â
no_std compatible crate (or port one) for standard parsing operations, and more. It then talks about additional technical considerations that should be reviewed when attempting to create a 1-for-1 drop-in replacement where your C/C++ once stood and some final comments on memory safety.
