 Using Rust on RIOT needs the latest stable or nightly version of Rust,

-(as explained in its [introduction post]):
+In addition to the Rust compiler you'll need to install the C2Rust transpiler;
+as this is using some recent fixes, it is best installed as:
 
 ```shell
-$ rustup install nightly-2019-12-05
-$ rustup component add --toolchain nightly-2019-12-05 rustfmt rustc-dev
-$ git clone https://github.com/immunant/c2rust

-$ cargo +nightly-2019-12-05 install --locked --path c2rust
+$ cargo install c2rust --git https://github.com/immunant/c2rust

-The `git reset` step pins C2Rust to the version at time of writing.
-It is expected that later versions of C2Rust would work just as well,
-but they may need a more recent nightly Rust.
