Problem

Hi I following the https://lowenware.com/blog/osdev/aarch64-bare-metal-program-in-rust/ try to test aarch64 bare-metal under QEMU. Seems meet error and I can't find how to solution. (I've try a lot way from google search....)

~/.cargo/bin/aarch64-bare-metal$ rustup target add aarch64-unknown-none info: component 'rust-std' for target 'aarch64-unknown-none' is up to date ~/.cargo/bin/aarch64-bare-metal$ cargo -v xbuild --target=aarch64-unknown-none.json error: failed to run rustc to learn about target-specific information

What command did you run that gave you that error message? What did you do to set up the environment?

sorry I see it now.

You need to remove the is_builtin field from the aarch64-unknown-none.json target spec file. That field is no longer allowed to be set (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/86062), so it needs to be removed if you are building the spec from --print target-spec-json.

Closing as this isn't related to cargo. If you have further issues with getting started with some bare metal development, I suggest trying one of the user forums or chat platforms like discord.

Okay~~Many thanks for your help.

I encountered this when I tried to wasm_bindgen a struct. It comes with this note: note: rust-lld: error: unknown file type: exp.o
