VectorLibInstall
Add VectorLib to a vexide project and upload it to the V5 brain.
VectorLib is a Rust crate for vexide 0.9. It needs the nightly toolchain vexide is developed against and builds for the V5's thumbv7a-vex-v5 target.
Start from the example
The repository's example/ folder is a complete robot program with all of this already set up: LemLib's example project ported line for line, plus distance sensor resets and the PID tuner. Copy it and change the ports and constants.

The standard library is built from source for the V5:
[build]
target = "thumbv7a-vex-v5"
[target.'cfg(target_os = "vexos")']
runner = "cargo v5 run --file"
rustflags = ["-Clink-arg=-Tvexide.ld"]
[unstable]
build-std = ["std", "panic_abort"]
build-std-features = ["compiler-builtins-mem"]Upload
The cargo-v5 release on crates.io (0.12.1) still builds the old armv7a target, so install it from git until the next release:
cargo install --git https://github.com/vexide/cargo-v5 cargo-v5
cargo v5 upload --release
