Tock Tutorial @ SenSys 2017

SenSys Tock Tutorial, Sunday, November 5th in Delft

The Tock operating system is a secure, embedded kernel for sensor network and Internet of Things systems using Cortex-M micro controllers. Written in the Rust language, it supports kernel extensions in Rust as well as multiple concurrent applications written in C, Rust, or Lua. This tutorial will give an introduction to programming in Tock as well as an overview of its architecture. Attendees will write a user-land networking application in C as well as a kernel extension in Rust. Attendees will be provided hardware kits, which they may optionally purchase as part of the registration fee.
