 This document describes how to get started with kernel development in Rust.
 If you have worked previously with Rust, this will only take a moment.

+``libclang`` (part of LLVM) is used by ``bindgen`` to understand the C code
+in the kernel, which means you will need a recent LLVM installed; like when
+you compile the kernel with ``CC=clang`` or ``LLVM=1``.
+
+Your Linux distribution is likely to have a suitable one available, so it is
+best if you check that first.
+
+There are also some binaries for several systems and architectures uploaded at:

+For Debian-based distributions, you can also fetch them from:
