                              Using Cross to Cross-compile Rust for other Architectures

                              Goal

                              Preconditions

                              1. The virtual machine is correctly installed on the host system (Getting and Running the PHYTEC VM)
                              2. Rust and Cargo are correctly installed in the virtual machine (Rust Development)
                              3. The Hello World project is created in the virtual machine (Rust Development)

                              Install Podman or Docker in the Virtual Machine

                              To use Cross for the compilation you will need container software installed and running on the virtual machine.

                              For this tutorial, we used the Podman installation guide (https://podman.io/docs/installation) to install and run it on the virtual machine.

                              Install Cross in the Virtual Machine

                              For this section, we used the given installation guide (https://github.com/cross-rs/cross) to install Cross.

                              Use Cross to Cross-compile the Hello World Project

                              If all the above steps are done correctly, you can use Cross from the terminal to cross-compile the Hello World project for other architectures.

                              Cross-compile rust
                              cd rust-test-hello-world # go to the rust project folder
cross build --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu # this command will use cross to compile rust for the aarch64-linux architecture

                              If everything is correct, you can find the binary in the folder "./target/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/debug".

                              This binary is built for a specific architecture.

                              To run your Rust binary on our board, here is a tutorial on how to copy it to the board via scp:
