Yeah, I definitely want 64 bit support. That might be inherently limited a bit though because you need to halt the core to read memory fast afaik, which kind of defies the purpose of RTT because it destroys any real-time guarantees it should give. But I have not played with 64 bit targets, so I cannot tell how it's actually impacted.
The rtt-target crate assumes it is running on a 32-bit target. The use of pointers and
usize
in the header and channel structs prevent the crate from working on non 32-bit targets.I hacked together a branch switching the pointers and
usize
s withu32
s along with manytry_into().unwrap()
s sprinkled in to prove out it can work for a 64-bit target.Is this a direction the crate would want to go? Ideally the pointer conversion checks would happen at compile time and we could prove some of the
usize
tou32
conversions would be infallible.At a minimum the 32-bit limitation currently undocumented and could be called out in the README and docs.
