Is this repo still maintained? #19

Open trezm opened 5 years ago

trezm commented 5 years ago

Sorry if I missed this -- but is this repo and the photon ecosystem still maintained? I'm revisiting this after a couple of years of being out of the microcontroller game, but it seems like this (and all of my older code,) no longer works with the modern versions of rust.

Are these repositories now defunct in favor of cortex-m (which seems to compile splendidly!)? If that's the case, is there a recommended way to compat with the whole particle ecosystem?

I'm no longer maintaining these repositories as I no longer have a photon board with me.

It should be possible to build pure Rust applications for the photon hardware using the cortex-m crates, but they are not a drop-in replacement for the photon-* repositories; you won't get photon specific functionality with the cortex-m crates.

I would be happy to transfer these repositories to people interested in maintaining and updating them to work with a recent toolchain and recent photon firmware. Interested people can send me an e-mail.
