Research direction

Start by reviewing the embedded-hal serial interface and the USB CDC and 1200-baud autoreset behavior described in the issue. Determine whether both use cases belong in the HAL and define the required scope and completion criteria with maintainers.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The normal way of interacting with an Arduino Leonardo has a few interesting features:

  • The serial output goes over usb and is controlled by the same processor running your code. The arduino framework for leonardo implements a usb initialization and use the USB CDC class device for serial output.
  • The autoreset is implemented by connecting to the CDC port at 1200 baud. This is also part of the USB handling in the arduino framework.

Will this hal be able to support these use cases so that platforms like the leonardo can be used ergonomically with a rust toolchain?

Thanks for your work on this project. I love it. :)
