Status: 🚧 (WIP)

• Get a USB cable that is suitable not only for charging but also for data transfer. No, seriously, otherwise you will have to spend 2 hours debugging like me 😉
• To exclude problems with $ probe-rs info, it is better to update firmware beforehand.
• If you get errors like:

➜  05-led-roulette git:(main) ✗ cargo embed       
   Compiling chapter-05-led-roulette v0.1.0 (<REPO_PATH>/rust-embedded-discover-microbit-book/05-led-roulette)
    Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.06s

 WARN probe_rs::flashing::loader: No loadable segments were found in the ELF file.
       Error No loadable segments were found in the ELF file.

In that case, make sure that the files memory.x, build.rs, and Embed.toml are present inside the chapter folder (e.g. 05-led-roulette) and .cargo/config.toml relative to the root of the repository.

• In Cargo.toml for chapters, the microbit (v1) dependency is deliberately commented out and microbit-v2 is left so that RustRover IDE can understand which crate to take imports from. If you have the first version, you should do the opposite.
