its content is pretty similar to the 2018 edition and we want to reader to be
familiar with the 2018 edition so it's best to direct them to that version of
the Rust book
67: Attempt to describe OpenOCD r=japaric a=adamgreen
This is my attempt to implement the OpenOCD TODO item in the 'Tooling'
section of Chapter 1.
I did move the OpenOCD section so that it comes after GDB since I
thought it made more sense to describe it after the user has already
been introduced to GDB as a debugger since it is OpenOCD which bridges
the gap between GDB and the ST-Link debugger hardware.
Feedback welcome!

for a multi-core device AcqRel ordering for the fetch-add operation and Release
ordering for the store operation would have been required for correctness

Mostly just fixing minor typos in chapter 1.
I did make a few changes to the table in the 'Other Resources' section
of the introduction:
* I added a brief description for the 'Embedded Rust Bookshelf' row.
* I added a period to the end of the FAQ description to keep it
consistent with the other row descriptions.
40: Rework introduction r=jamesmunns a=Nicoretti
* Add "Who Embedded Rust is For" section
* Rework "Who This Book is for section" to be more inclusive
but still state what knowlege is important to get more out of the book

60: intro: replace use of 0666 permission by an ACL r=jamesmunns a=vincentbernat
With a modern installation, it is possible to give access to the
"current" user (the one physically in front of the machine) by tagging
a device with `uaccess`. This is better than using the 0666 permission,
which opens the device to the world.
