While writing a blog post I found that I wanted to be able to link to a common definition of certain terms but I was not able to find one.

This change makes the glossary up from sub-headings so that each item can be linked to directly. I have also filled out some more detail on the areas I'm particularly interested in (BSP, HAL and PAC).

Things I'm not sure about:

  • I am very new to embedded development so please review what I've written carefully, it may not be correct.
  • I'm not sure how much detail to put here as there seems to be a bit of overlap with the registers page. I've gone with more detail here because I would like to link to these definitions from outside this book.

Maybe you could add a link to thezoq's talk about terminology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLYit_HHPaY I did that as well over in the discovery book rewrite...makes me think, maybe we should have some "single source of truth" regarding terminology like this we can always link in our resources to decrease redundancy.

that is exactly what I was looking for and what I hope this page could be. The main rust-embedded book certainly feels like the right general area.

Oh my goodness, that video looks amazing 😍 ! Definitely watching that this evening when I can absorb it properly.

Once I've watched it I will try to link directly to the correct time in the video for each definition. After watching the video I think deep linking would not be helpful as you lose the context.
