Developed the initial state machine architecture for the HYPE-22 project within the Hyp-ed/hyped-2025 repository, focusing on embedded systems using Rust. The work involved defining states, implementing transitions, and introducing a macro-state representation to support predictable workflows and robust state management. Leveraging Rust’s module system, the developer structured the state-machine as a dedicated crate, managing dependencies through Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock. This foundational implementation established a modular and testable framework, streamlining future feature development and debugging. The approach emphasized maintainability and scalability, ensuring that the state machine could be easily extended and integrated into the broader embedded systems codebase.
