Compiling Rust for Arduino on WSL

Follow this guide with the following modifications:

• You'll need to manually share the Windows USB ports with WSL using usbipd-win.
• The guide tells how to list the USB devices with lsusb, but it doesn't show how to get the name of the device file that you'll need when setting RAVEDUDE_PORT. To get that, use dmesg | grep tty:

  ck@ck-win-pro:~/tuts/rust-x-arduino (main)
  $ dmesg | grep tty
  [ 1974.578111] cdc_acm 1-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
  ck@ck-win-pro:~/tuts/rust-x-arduino (main)
  $ export RAVEDUDE_PORT=/dev/ttyACM0
  ck@ck-win-pro:~/tuts/rust-x-arduino (main)
  $ cargo run
  

• The guide gives the following command:

  cargo generate --git <https://github.com/Rahix/avr-hal-template.git>
  

  However, the command should be run without the < or > symbols:

  cargo generate --git https://github.com/Rahix/avr-hal-template.git
