USB Serial Communication

For USB serial communication, you can use the usbd-serial crate. It provides a simple and efficient way to communicate with USB serial devices.

To add it to your project, include the following in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
usbd-serial = "0.1.1"

For more details, refer to the usbd-serial documentation.

Building and Using deskmsg_c (for C/C++ Projects)

The deskmsg_c library provides a C-compatible API for the core Rust functionality. It can be integrated into C/C++ projects using CMake.

Prerequisites:

• Rust (latest stable, with Cargo)
• CMake (version 3.15 or higher)
• C compiler (e.g., GCC, Clang, MSVC)

Building deskmsg_c:

1. Navigate to the deskmsg_c directory.
2. Run cargo build (for debug build) or cargo build --release (for release build). This will compile the Rust library and generate the C header file (deskmsg_c/include/deskmsg_c.h) and shared library via cbindgen.

Integrating with a C/C++ CMake Project: Refer to examples/c_example of how to link and use the library.

TODO:

• Release deskmsg_napi to npm
• Release deskmsg lib to crates.io
