Current CI testing is a No-Op: rust-lang/rust#67018

[thejpster]

Some guidance on rust-embedded/cortex-m-quickstart#78 would be useful. How do we feel about IDE specific additions to quickstart? Would we take an Intelli-J IDEA project, or a Sublime Text project?

Some context for that conversion @thejpster

That PR adds configuration for very specific MCUs, for use with a specific VSCode plugin, not all VSCode users will benefit from that.

Another agenda item: rust-embedded/cortex-m-rt#223 (regression in the cortex-m-rt release).

[rubberduck203]

@jonas-schievink I didn’t intend to imply that it would. Only providing some editor usage data to frame the conversation.

Can we chuck Generic Radio Traits on the agenda?
We have a few driver crates for various radio standards, but when building a protocal ontop of those and making them driver agnostic it would be nice to have a trait for each radio standard (LoRa, Zigbee, Bluetooth, WiFi, whatever) to bind to instead.

Can we chuck Generic Radio Traits on the agenda?

You can put pretty much anything on the agenda but unless you have a proposal it's not very likely that this will result in fruitful discussion since these topics require a high level of domain specific knowledge. It would probably be better to form a group exploring the options and the way forward leading to an RFC proposing those traits and then put it on the agenda for discussion.

[IGBC]

welp. I will not claim to be experienced in the area.

Can we chuck Generic Radio Traits on the agenda?

@IGBC i've been working on this for a while now for ISM / LoRa stuff, not sure about how it'd work with WiFi which (afaik) it'd be unusual to interact with as a radio (rather than via some kind of socket API).

You might be interested in previous discussion in embedded-hal, some discussion on rubble, and my WIP implementation (which links out to a set of implementers). I haven't looked at extracting commonality for configuration yet, but the operation of all of em is the same.

If you'd like to talk about it more we could re-open the HAL issue as a place to chat.

[Disasm]

Sorry, I will not be able to attend the meeting. As for the digital::v3, I'd rather postponed the voting until we agree on the future structure of the embedded-hal crate.

[thejpster]

I'm afraid I've been off sick most of the last week, so I haven't written up the RFC yet.
