Adds zero-cost stack overflow protection to your embedded programs

Verlauf

Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

flip-link is a Rust linker wrapper from the Knurling embedded tooling project. It adds zero-cost stack overflow protection to bare-metal embedded Rust programs by flipping the memory layout used for ARM Cortex-M targets.

Projektgeschichte

The README explains the motivating bug class: stack overflows in bare-metal Cortex-M Rust programs can collide with .bss and .data static variables, causing undefined behavior even in code without unsafe blocks.

flip-link changes the link layout so the stack grows toward the physical RAM boundary instead of into static data. A stack overflow then becomes a hardware exception handled through the Cortex-M runtime rather than silent memory corruption.

Adoptionsgeschichte

The README documents installation from crates.io with cargo install flip-link and configuration through .cargo/config.toml, making it a drop-in build-tool package for embedded Rust projects.

The input package metadata records packaging in Homebrew, Nix, and Arch, showing adoption outside Cargo for users who install embedded toolchain helpers through system package managers.

Wie es verwendet wird

Users set the target linker to flip-link for bare-metal ARM targets, replacing rust-lld in Cargo configuration. flip-link invokes the Rust toolchain linker after adjusting the memory layout.

The official docs note support for ARM Cortex-M programs using cortex-m-rt 0.6.x and 0.7.x with LLD, with other architectures and runtime crates outside the tested scope.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

flip-link is significant because it packages a linker-level safety trick as a small CLI rather than requiring every embedded project to maintain custom linker scripts.

For Rust package maintainers, it is also a clear example of tooling that belongs in the build environment: the binary is tiny, target-specific, and wired through Cargo configuration rather than imported as a normal runtime library.

Zeitleiste

2020: v0.1.0 was released.
2021: v0.1.3 improved documentation and project checks around the stack overflow problem and solution.
2022: v0.1.6 updated the project to Rust 2021 and improved memory.x handling.
2024: v0.1.9 recommended target linker configuration for recent Cargo versions.
2025: v0.1.10 added help behavior and a fuller parser for ORIGIN and LENGTH expressions.

Related projects

flip-link is part of Knurling, Ferrous Systems' embedded Rust tooling effort.
It is closely related to cortex-m-rt, rust-lld, Cargo target configuration, and ARM Cortex-M bare-metal Rust applications.
