Merge #741
741: Docs 2 r=korken89 a=datdenkikniet Working on the migration guide and other docs TODO: - [x] Migration guide - [x] Hardcoded examples should link to example code that is tested (this was already done, AFAICT) - [x] Address #699 - [x] Discuss: should we remove references to non-v2, apart from the migration guide and link to the book for v1? (Off-github conclusion: yes) - [x] RTIC {vs,and} Embassy (important: distinction between embassy runtime & HALs) - [x] More descriptive docs on how to implement & PR implementations of `Monotonic` to `rtic-monotonics` Co-authored-by: datdenkikniet <jcdra1@gmail.com>

+# Inspecting generated code
+
+`#[rtic::app]` is a procedural macro that produces support code. If for some reason you need to inspect the code generated by this macro you have two options:
+
+You can inspect the file `rtic-expansion.rs` inside the `target` directory. This file contains the expansion of the `#[rtic::app]` item (not your whole program!) of the *last built* (via `cargo build` or `cargo check`) RTIC application. The expanded code is not pretty printed by default, so you'll want to run `rustfmt` on it before you read it.
+
+``` console
+$ cargo build --example smallest --target thumbv7m-none-eabi
+```
+
+``` console
+$ rustfmt target/rtic-expansion.rs
+```
+
+``` console
+$ tail target/rtic-expansion.rs
+```
+
+``` rust,noplayground
+#[doc = r" Implementation details"]
+mod app {
+ #[doc = r" Always include the device crate which contains the vector table"]
+ use lm3s6965 as _;
+ #[no_mangle]
+ unsafe extern "C" fn main() -> ! {
+ rtic::export::interrupt::disable();
+ let mut core: rtic::export::Peripherals = core::mem::transmute(());
+ core.SCB.scr.modify(|r| r | 1 << 1);
+ rtic::export::interrupt::enable();
+ loop {
+ rtic::export::wfi()
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Or, you can use the [`cargo-expand`] sub-command. This sub-command will expand *all* the macros, including the `#[rtic::app]` attribute, and modules in your crate and print the output to the console.
+
+[`cargo-expand`]: https://crates.io/crates/cargo-expand
+
+``` console
+# produces the same output as before
+```
+
+``` console
+cargo expand --example smallest | tail
+```
