I'd like to add mint to the list of tools. Mint is the culmination of a year or so of trying to build 'the best way' to enable parametrisation of embedded firmware. The entire CLI is built in rust and also provides a mint-core crate to bring the functionality into your own apps. It's tailored more towards embedded C than rust with support for header generation, schema fingerprinting, native fixed point support and a few different ABIs for the microcontrollers I'm targeting (more suggestions are always welcome). You can use mint as your single source of truth for configuration structs and get compile-time validity guarantees and free runtime compatibility checks that CRCs or other simpler methods can't provide.
