Topic: deku

Recently we've been diving into Deku, both working with it to implement an NVMe-MI emulator and various PLDM specifications, and working on it to bend it to our needs.

It's a project that sits in an interesting niche for embedded and systems work - providing declarative tools for bespoke communication and storage formats. As a small demonstration we'll explore using it to parse some ELF headers.

Deku is an open-source Rust crate which simplifies the process of serialisation and deserialisation of binary data structures, preventing tedious manual parser-writing and inevitable bugs.

Andrew at Code Construct has contributed to the project, expanding it for use in embedded systems.
