Looks pretty good. I've never actually seen rust in the wild, and I'm not even sure I've even heard of the language until now . . . Since there seems to be a language born every 5 seconds now days. I've personally no interest in learning all.
May I make a suggestion ? An example that blinks the on board USR LEDs could be handy. In that a person could run the code without having to hook up any external electronics. I know this is nothing super special, but it would allow beginner hobbyist to see something right away. I've been considering writing a 'bit pattern interface' between userspace and the PRU's myself. In order to control the on board USR LEDs. Just as a demonstration. But alas my assembly skills are far rustier( no pun intended ) than I care to admit. I've also even considered writing a modified uio_pruss driver. . .but first I would have to read up on several things. Then, find the time. In the meantime I think I'll try to learn something form what you've done here. Thanks for sharing !
