Using probe-rs to initialise memory.x
Wouldn't it be great to automatically create a proper linker configuration based on the selected chip? It seems that this information can be easily pulled from yaml files in probe-rs/targets/. Probably someone is already thought about it, in that case just close this right away.
I’m fairly certain there would need to be changes to cargo generate to make something like this work.

Some way of getting values out of yaml files will also be required, maybe it's easier to create a cargo tool tailored specifically for that task...
Oh! Hey! Some of the required functionality landed in cargo-generate v0.6.0!

Great! That can be used for improvements.
As for the memory size part, probably some scripting functionality from cargo-generate will be required. I wonder what would be better, add scripting to cargo-generate or create a special tool specifically for creating embedded projects.
I don’t know much about probe-rs. Couldn’t we use the same user provided value for memory.x and the probe-rs config?
Of course, that assumes adding probe-rs support to the quickstart.
