# Beginner Workbook
|
|
|
|
In this workshop you'll get familiar with:
|
|
|
|
- the structure of embedded Rust programs,
|
|
- the existing embedded Rust tooling, and
|
|
- embedded application development using a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL).
|
|
|
|
To put these concepts in practice you'll write applications that use the radio functionality of the nRF52840 microcontroller.
|
|
|
|
You have received two development boards for this workshop. We'll use both in the beginner workshop.
|
|
|
|
## The nRF52840 Development Kit
|
|
|
|
This is the larger development board.
|
|
|
|
The board has two USB ports: J2 and J3 and an on-board J-Link programmer / debugger -- [there are instructions to identify the ports in a previous section][id-ports]. USB port J2 is the J-Link's USB port. USB port J3 is the nRF52840's USB port. Connect the Development Kit to your computer using the **J2** port.

|
|
|
|
## The nRF52840 Dongle
|
|
|
|
This is the smaller development board.
|
|
|
|
The board has the form factor of a USB stick and can be directly connected to one of the USB ports of your PC / laptop. Do **not** connect it just yet.
|
|
|
|
## The nRF52840
|
|
|
|
Both development boards have an nRF52840 microcontroller. Here are some details about it that are relevant to this workshop.
|
|
|
|
- single core ARM Cortex-M4 processor clocked at 64 MHz
|
|
- 1 MB of Flash (at address `0x0000_0000`)
|
|
- 256 KB of RAM (at address `0x2000_0000`)
|
|
- IEEE 802.15.4 and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) compatible radio
|
|
- USB controller (device function)
