# Rust Nix Flake Template
|
|
|
|
This template provides a reproducible Rust development environment using Nix flakes and the fenix toolchain.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
nix develop
|
|
# or with direnv:
|
|
direnv allow
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Automatic Environment Setup
|
|
|
|
When you enter the devShell (via `direnv allow` or `nix develop`), the following happens automatically:
|
|
|
|
✓ **Git Repository**: Initializes `.git` if not present
|
|
✓ **Rust Targets**: Automatically adds common embedded Rust targets (ARM Cortex-M, RISC-V)
|
|
✓ **Cargo Paths**: Sets up `$HOME/.cargo/bin` in PATH for cargo-installed binaries
|
|
✓ **Welcome Banner**: Displays available tools and quick commands
|
|
|
|
No manual setup needed! Just start coding.
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
nix flake init -t path:../flakes#rust
|
|
nix develop
|
|
cargo build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Embedded Rust Support
|
|
|
|
The devShell automatically installs common embedded Rust targets via `rustup`:
|
|
|
|
| Target | Platform | Use Case |
|
|
|--------|----------|----------|
|
|
| `thumbv6m-none-eabi` | ARM Cortex-M0/M0+ | RP2040 (Pico) |
|
|
| `thumbv7em-none-eabihf` | ARM Cortex-M4F/M7F | STM32, nRF52840 |
|
|
| `riscv32imc-unknown-none-elf` | RISC-V 32-bit | ESP32-C3 (basic) |
|
|
| `riscv32imac-unknown-none-elf` | RISC-V 32-bit (atomic) | ESP32-C3 (advanced) |
|
|
|
|
**Note:** ESP32 Xtensa targets require espup or custom toolchains (see [esp-rs](https://github.com/esp-rs)).
|
|
|
|
## Flatpak Packaging
|
|
|
|
This template supports building Flatpak packages for your Rust application.
|
|
|
|
### Build Flatpak Package
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure you have `flatpak-builder` installed.
|
|
2. Run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make flatpak-build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will use the manifest at `flatpak/app.flatpak.json` to build a Flatpak bundle in the `build-flatpak/` directory.
|
|
|
|
### Customize Manifest
|
|
|
|
Edit `flatpak/app.flatpak.json` to update app ID, runtime, build commands, or sources as needed for your project.
|
|
|
|
### Install/Run Flatpak Locally
|
|
|
|
You can install and run the built Flatpak locally:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
flatpak install --user build-flatpak/org.example.rustdevshell.flatpak
|
|
flatpak run org.example.rustdevshell
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Testing & Development Features
|
|
|
|
Build and testing tools:
|
|
|
|
- **cargo test** - Run unit and integration tests
|
|
- **cargo clippy** - Lint code for common issues
|
|
- **cargo fmt** - Format code consistently with rustfmt
|
|
|
|
**Example usage:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Run tests
|
|
cargo test
|
|
|
|
# Check code with clippy
|
|
cargo clippy
|
|
|
|
# Format code
|
|
cargo fmt
|
|
|
|
# Build for embedded target
|
|
cargo build --target thumbv7em-none-eabihf --release
|
|
```

## Packaging for nixpkgs
|
|
|
|
This template is structured for easy packaging in nixpkgs:
|
|
|
|
- All sources in `src/`
|
|
- `flake.nix` provides a devShell and template
|
|
- Add a `default.nix` or package expression as needed for nixpkgs
|
|
|
|
See [nixpkgs Rust packaging docs](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#rust) for more details.
|
|
|
|
## Customization
|
|
|
|
Edit `flake.nix` to:
|
|
|
|
- Add additional Rust targets via `rustup target add [target]`
|
|
- Include additional cargo plugins
|
|
- Add board-specific tools (e.g., stm32cube, nrfjprog)
|
