Leveling up hardware production with Rust
summary
Argues that using Probe.rs lets manufacturing drop vendor black‑box CLIs and even external EEPROM by programming device flash at address granularity, producing per‑unit custom binaries and embedding calibration, serials and keys directly. Shows using the RT ring buffer as a bidirectional stdin/stdout to run provisioning and automated tests without extra firmware interfaces, integrates bench Pogo‑pin fixtures and built‑in self‑test flows, and points to on‑target tooling like sequential-storage and embedded‑test for unit tests and a cloud service (forge.tn) for scaling production records.
