Embedded Domain

Layer 3: Domain Constraints

Domain Constraints → Design Implications

Critical Constraints

No Dynamic Allocation

RULE: Cannot use heap (no allocator)
WHY: Deterministic memory, no OOM
RUST: heapless::Vec<T, N>, arrays

Interrupt Safety

RULE: Shared state must be interrupt-safe
WHY: ISR can preempt at any time
RUST: Mutex<RefCell<T>> + critical section

Hardware Ownership

RULE: Peripherals must have clear ownership
WHY: Prevent conflicting access
RUST: HAL takes ownership, singletons

Trace Down ↓

From constraints to design (Layer 2):

"Need no_std compatible data structures"
    ↓ m02-resource: heapless collections
    ↓ Static sizing: heapless::Vec<T, N>

"Need interrupt-safe state"
    ↓ m03-mutability: Mutex<RefCell<Option<T>>>
    ↓ m07-concurrency: Critical sections

"Need peripheral ownership"
    ↓ m01-ownership: Singleton pattern
    ↓ m12-lifecycle: RAII for hardware

Design Patterns

Code Pattern: Static Peripheral

#![no_std]
#![no_main]

use cortex_m::interrupt::{self, Mutex};
use core::cell::RefCell;

static LED: Mutex<RefCell<Option<Led>>> = Mutex::new(RefCell::new(None));

#[entry]
fn main() -> ! {
    let dp = pac::Peripherals::take().unwrap();
    let led = Led::new(dp.GPIOA);

    interrupt::free(|cs| {
        LED.borrow(cs).replace(Some(led));
    });

    loop {
        interrupt::free(|cs| {
            if let Some(led) = LED.borrow(cs).borrow_mut().as_mut() {
                led.toggle();
            }
        });
    }
}
