2. Install Rust and Cargo using rustup by running the following command:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Windows

1. Download the rustup-init.exe from rustup.
2. Run the downloaded rustup-init.exe file.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Verifying Rust and Cargo Installation

Verify that Rust and Cargo are correctly installed by running the following commands in your terminal or command prompt:

rustc --version
cargo --version

Adding the armv7a-none-eabi Target

To compile code for ARM Cortex-A processors, you need to add the armv7a-none-eabi target to your Rust installation.

1. Open a Terminal (macOS and Linux) or Command Prompt (Windows).
2. Run the following command:

rustup target add armv7a-none-eabi

Verifying the Target Installation

Verify that the armv7a-none-eabi target has been added by listing the installed targets:

rustup target list --installed

Ensure rmv7a-none-eabi appears in the output.
