nihao

[Under development] Rust powered flash programmer and on chip debugger for embedded devices.

This is a library project, further GUI module should be separated into another project repository.

It's under heavy development, but this library have its advantages compared to OpenOCD. nihao is stand-alone thus does not depend on library written in the C programming language (instead it uses winapi and other OS-specific application interface crates). nihao has the ability to flash two (and more) chips at the same time using overlapped structures, thus it would be unnecessary to unplug and replug to flash your multi-device communicating programs into two separate MCU chips.

nihao consists of two modules by now. nihao-usb is a stand-alone USB library aimed to support basic control transfers and data exchanges with support of overlapped transportations. nihao-stlink wraps ST-Link dongles as abstract SWD and JTAG debuggers, allowing read, modify and erase target STM32 and STM8 chips.

By now, only limited support of Windows system and ST-Link programmers are finished. However, all contributions are welcomed! Please fire an issue or submit your pull request if you want to contribute.
