486: Pwm ppi events r=Dirbaio a=jacobrosenthal

More PWM yak shaving. I was going to do some safe pwm ppi events stuff but I just dont think it fits this api design.. ppi is just very low level, im not sure how safe it will be in general

* first we should probably have borrows of handlers for ppi with lifetime of the peripheral?  hal does eb4ba6ae42/nrf-hal-common/src/pwm.rs (L714-L716)
* in general having access to tasks can put the state in some configuration the api doesnt understand anymore. for `SequencePwm` ideally id hand you back either only seq_start0 or seq_start1 because youd only use one based on if your `Times` is even or odd.. but again we only know that with this api AFTER start has been called. I dont think were ready for typestates

SO I figured why not add the pwm ppi events but make them unsafe and commit this example since I started it.

Somewhat related drop IS removing the last duty cycle from the pin correctly, but stop DOES NOT..the only thing that sets the pin back is pin.conf() as far as I can tell, so I tried to document that better and got rid of stop for the `SimplePwm` again since that doesnt need it then. However its ackward we dont have a way to unset the pwm without setting a new sequence of 0s, or dropping the peripheral

Embassy

Embassy is a project to make async/await a first-class option for embedded development. For more information and instructions to get started, click here.

Traits and types

embassy provides a set of traits and types specifically designed for async usage.

  • embassy::io: AsyncBufRead, AsyncWrite. Traits for byte-stream IO, essentially no_std compatible versions of futures::io.
  • embassy::traits::flash: Flash device trait.
  • embassy::time: Clock and Alarm traits. Std-like Duration and Instant.
  • More traits for SPI, I2C, UART async HAL coming soon.

Executor

The embassy::executor module provides an async/await executor designed for embedded usage.

  • No alloc, no heap needed. Task futures are statically allocated.
  • No "fixed capacity" data structures, executor works with 1 or 1000 tasks without needing config/tuning.
  • Integrated timer queue: sleeping is easy, just do Timer::after(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;.
  • No busy-loop polling: CPU sleeps when there's no work to do, using interrupts or WFE/SEV.
  • Efficient polling: a wake will only poll the woken task, not all of them.
  • Fair: a task can't monopolize CPU time even if it's constantly being woken. All other tasks get a chance to run before a given task gets polled for the second time.
  • Creating multiple executor instances is supported, to run tasks with multiple priority levels. This allows higher-priority tasks to preempt lower-priority tasks.

Utils

embassy::util contains some lightweight async/await utilities, mainly helpful for async driver development (signaling a task that an interrupt has occured, for example).

embassy-nrf

The embassy-nrf crate contains implementations for nRF 52 series SoCs.

  • uarte: UARTE driver implementing AsyncBufRead and AsyncWrite.

  • qspi: QSPI driver implementing Flash.

  • gpiote: GPIOTE driver. Allows awaiting GPIO pin changes. Great for reading buttons or receiving interrupts from external chips.

  • saadc: SAADC driver. Provides a full implementation of the one-shot sampling for analog channels.

  • rtc: RTC driver implementing Clock and Alarm, for use with embassy::executor.

Examples

Examples are found in the examples/ folder seperated by the chip manufacturer they are designed to run on:

  • examples/nrf are designed to run on the nrf52840-dk board (PCA10056) but should be easily adaptable to other nRF52 chips and boards.
  • examples/rp are for the RP2040 chip.
  • examples/stm32 are designed for the STM32F429ZI chip but should be easily adaptable to other STM32F4xx chips.
  • examples/std are designed to run locally on your pc.

Running examples

  • Setup git submodules (needed for STM32 examples)
git submodule init
git submodule update
  • Install probe-run with defmt support.
cargo install probe-run
  • Run the example
cargo run --bin rtc_async

Minimum supported Rust version (MSRV)

Required nightly version is specified in the rust-toolchain.toml file. Nightly is required for:

  • generic_associated_types: for trait funcs returning futures.
  • type_alias_impl_trait: for trait funcs returning futures implemented with async{} blocks, and for static-executor.

Stable support is a non-goal until these features get stabilized.

Why the name?

EMBedded ASYnc! :)
