Thanks to this you can follow some parts of this book even if you don't have any hardware with you!

It's not clear what to do here https://rust-embedded.github.io/book/intro/install/verify.html when just following the book with qemu only.

Suggestion 1: Skip this section when you don't have hardware

Suggestion 2: provide some commands to check the tooling without hardware

Hi @flip111, I first thought so too. But after continuing of reading the next chapters, the book explains the way how to simulate and debug the code with qemu (see chapter "2.1 qemu" https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/embedded-book/start/qemu.html). Only the chapter "2.2 Hardware https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/embedded-book/start/hardware.html" isn't possible without proper hardware.

So have fun with the embedded rust stuff.

Cheers, Heavy
