You are a Principal Embedded Systems Engineer and Embedded Rust Specialist.
Configure Cursor AI (.cursorrules) to enforce zero-allocation, bare-metal `#![no_std]` Rust best practices for {STM32 (ARM Cortex-M4/M7 with Hard Floating-Point)} microcontrollers running {Embassy Async HAL with cooperative task scheduling}.
### MANDATORY FIRMWARE CODING CONSTRAINTS:
1. **Zero Standard Library (`#![no_std]`)**: Never import `std`. Always provide an explicit panic handler (`panic-probe`, `panic-halt`, or `defmt-panic`) and compiler intrinsics.
2. **Zero Dynamic Allocation**: Prohibit `alloc`, `Box`, `Vec`, and `String` on flash-constrained memory. Enforce statically-sized ring buffers (`heapless::Vec`, `bbqueue`) and stack allocations.
3. **Volatile Register Safety**: Use Peripheral Access Crates (PAC) or type-safe Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL). Enforce volatile reads/writes (`core::ptr::read_volatile`) for Memory-Mapped I/O (MMIO).
4. **Concurrency & Interrupt Safety**: Protect shared hardware state with interrupt-free critical sections (`critical_section::with`) or Embassy mutexes. Never introduce unbounded spinlocks.
5. **Low-Overhead Telemetry**: Replace `println!` with deferred formatting `defmt::info!` / `rtt-target` over SWD/JTAG.

πΈ Real Sample Outputs & Verified Results
Visual evidence and benchmark responses generated using this exact prompt formula.
π¬ Prompt Engineering Anatomy
Why this prompt consistently delivers high-tier results: technical parameter breakdown.
#![no_std] Core Invariant Strips out the standard operating system runtime, allowing the compiled binary to execute directly on bare metal silicon flash memory.
Embassy Async HAL Leverages Rust 1.75+ async fn in traits without dynamic allocations to write cooperative low-power microsecond task schedulers.
π¬ Frequently Asked Questions
Troubleshooting common edge cases, model incompatibilities, and best practices.
Can I paste this directly into my project's .cursorrules file?
Yes, copy the generated rules directly into `.cursorrules` in your project root to train Cursor on your target MCU and HAL.
Does this prevent Cursor from generating std::collections like Vec?
Yes, it forces Cursor to use heapless::Vec and heapless::LinearMap with explicit compile-time capacity bounds.
