PSA: You no longer need Xargo to do ARM Cortex-M development

announcements

As of the latest nightly (nightly-2018-04-08) rust-std components for the thumbv*m-none-eabi*targets are available. These components contain pre-compiled versions of core, alloc, std_unicode and compiler-builtins.

Install the component with this command:

$ # or any of the other 3 targets (cf. `rustup target list`)
$ rustup target add thumbv7m-none-eabi

Then you'll be able to build, check, etc. your ARM Cortex-M crates using Cargo:

$ cargo clone cortex-m && cd $_
$ cargo build --target thumbv7m-none-eabi

This change is part of the effort towards making embedded development possible on the stable
channel.

Yay! If you remember to add the same target that you build with, and bump cortex-m-rt, it works!

Would arm-none-eabi be added for ARM7 & ARM9?
