inline assembly is supported since rust 1.59, we're way past that. enabling this makes the compiled code more compact, and on rp2040 even decreses memory usage by not needing thunks in sram.
Examples using bootloader
Example for nRF demonstrating the bootloader. The example consists of application binaries, 'a' which allows you to press a button to start the DFU process, and 'b' which is the updated application.

Usage
# Use bare metal linker script
cp memory-bl.x ../../bootloader/nrf/memory.x
# Flash bootloader
cargo flash --manifest-path ../../bootloader/nrf/Cargo.toml --features embassy-nrf/nrf52840 --target thumbv7em-none-eabi --release --chip nRF52840_xxAA
# Build 'b'
cargo build --release --bin b --features embassy-nrf/nrf52840
# Generate binary for 'b'
cargo objcopy --release --bin b --features embassy-nrf/nrf52840 --target thumbv7em-none-eabi -- -O binary b.bin
Flash a (which includes b.bin)
cargo flash --release --bin a --features embassy-nrf/nrf52840 --target thumbv7em-none-eabi --chip nRF52840_xxAA
You should then see a solid LED. Pressing button 1 will cause the DFU to be loaded by the bootloader. Upon successfully loading, you'll see the LED flash. After 5 seconds, because there is no petting of the watchdog, you'll see the LED go solid again. This indicates that the bootloader has reverted the update.
