- probe-run screwed up the last release 2 weeks ago and it's still not fixed (issue 391). Doesn't look well maintained.
- Even when it's not broken, it lags behind probe-rs-cli in new chips support because it's slow in updating probe-rs.
inline assembly is supported since rust 1.59, we're way past that.
enabling this makes the compiled code more compact, and on rp2040
even decreses memory usage by not needing thunks in sram.
This introduces a `Pender` struct with enum cases for thread-mode, interrupt-mode and
custom callback executors. This avoids calls through function pointers when using only
the thread or interrupt executors. Faster, and friendlier to `cargo-call-stack`.
`embassy-executor` now has `arch-xxx` Cargo features to select the arch and to enable
the builtin executors (thread and interrupt).
They're used to communicate from the app to ST's OTA bootloader. See AN5247.
This bootloader is optional, must be flashed by the user, and requires changing the FLASH start address as well, so the current memory regions still require modifications to use it. Therefore there's no point in reserving these words.
Thanks @adamgreig for investigating the purpose.
It currently contains whoever was first to write some code for the crate,
even if many more people have contributed to it later.
The field is "sort of" deprecated, it was made optional recently:

Due the the reasons listed there I believe removing it is better than
setting it to generic fluff like "The Embassy contributors".
