docs, Setting Up page, explain why the cargo installs are pinned?

[sprive]

Following Setting Up page, the tools versions are specified in pinned fashion.. Example:

...
$ cargo install cargo-binutils --vers 0.3.3

$ cargo size --version
cargo-size 0.3.3

Are these pins required, and if so: for what reason? the latest version is .3.6 for example.

Those are the versions we successfully used when this was written. Check out https://github.com/rust-embedded/discovery-mb2 for the more recent version of the book, which has more recent versions of the dependencies. You're right that some text would be good there.

Awesome. That pointer helps (I had the newer v2 micro:bit, but I stumbled into the older guide). TY.
