  • Tested on Raspberry Pi 3, Model B and Raspberry Pi, Model B, Rev 2 with Raspbian version: September 2022

Cross compile for Rasbperry Pi

Follow the setup instructions from - (https://github.com/cross-rs/cross)

Then cross build --target arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi. A pi-ready and transfer the binary (target/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/debug/airq) to the Pi.

Run the binary grove_rgb_lcd on the Pi and observe a couple debug messages and changing colors.
