AVRoxide Release 0.4.0

The latest version of my OS for ATmega AVRs, AVRoxide, is now available - with drivers for storage and graphics devices.
Hero of the week: Patryk27
As I’ve written before, more than a year ago Rust on AVR went into the weeds because of bugs in LLVM.
I made a workaround, but it was far from ideal - and if it’s been frustrating for me, I’m sure it’s been a complete barrier to many even getting started with AVR on Rust.
Anyway, all that has now changed, thanks to Patryk27,
who has managed to merge the necessary patches into the Rust master, so now
the regular Rust nightly
toolchain builds for AVR again. Hurrah, and the
inaugural (and possibly ultimate) ‘Hero of the Week’ award goes to Patryk :-).
Subtle differences in interrupt handling on AVR microcontrollers
There are subtle differences between the way interrupts are handled on different AVR microcontrollers. I didn’t see this written in plain English anywhere, so I’ll have a go.
Finally: AVRoxide - a working Rust runtime for ATmega4809

It’s been quite a few months' work, with many challenges along the way - but finally I’m pleased to announce that I have a working runtime for writing applications in Rust for the ATmega4809 microcontroller (and thus also for the Arduino Nano Every.)
