Raspberry pi integration #154

I was really happy to see that there are results on crates.io for dwm1001. Then I realized, that those crates are meant for flashing the module itself if not mistaken. I am totally new in rust embedded, so this is not really working for me. And I need to build a solution on Raspberry Pi, because data will be sent further for UI drawing, etc.

Can I "reuse" this crate with minimal reconfiguration to move it from "embedded" to a normal "std" enabled crate? Is there perhaps any example/blog post of that?

I would really like to use Rust on RPi for that, but I am currently stuck.

I would appreciate any tip/help/link

BR, Tomaz

I haven't tried yet but since the DW1000 crate interacts through SPI, I think you can just set up the raspi SPI pins directly and get a handle to the module. Note that this is not for the DW1001 module, but you won't be missing much beyond some LEDs and accelerometer data.

Otherwise, you will want to build an API over the UART line which is more work.
