A smaller, cheaper RISC V board

I wonder if you can program this with Rust? There seems to be some support for a LLVM backend which would suggest 'yes'. However the gcc linker is still required which I'm unclear on whether that rules it out: https://riscv.org/software-tools/low-level-virtual-machine-l...

I think it's because they do a lot of optimizations at link time compared to other ISAs and they may not yet have ported them to LLD.
