After [linux.conf.au] I got inspired to set up some self-hosted home sensors
and automation. I did some research and picked up two [Texas Instruments
SensorTags][SensorTag] and a debugger add-on. It uses a [CC2650]
microcontroller with an ARM Cortex-M3 core and has support a number for low
microcontroller with an ARM Cortex-M3 core and has support for a number of low
power wireless standards, such as Bluetooth, ZigBee, and 6LoWPAN. The CC2650
also has a low power 16-bit sensor controller that can be used to help achieve
years long battery life from a single CR2032 button cell. In addition to the

publish SVD files for their devices. As luck would have it though, [M-Labs]
have found that TI do publish XML descriptions in format of their own called
DSLite. They have written a tool, [dslite2svd], that converts this to SVD, so
you can then use `svd2rust`. It took a while to get `dslite2svd` working and I
had to tweak to the tool to handle differences in the files I was processing,

Now that I had an API for the chip I turned to working out how to program and
debug the SensorTag with a very basic Rust program. I used the excellent
