+Users of Rust often take advantage of autocompletion or inline help.
+To use this on RIOT projects,

 ```
-$ rustup toolchain add stable

 Substitute thumbv7m-none-eabi with the value of `RUST_TARGET`
 in the output of `make info-build` of an application that has your current board selected
 (or just add it later whenever the Rust compiler complains about not finding the core library for a given target).
-Using a beta or nightly will work just as well,
-but you may need to set `CARGO_CHANNEL=nightly` on your shell or in your Makefiles.
+Using the beta or nightly toolchains will work just as well
