awesome-embedded-rust VS wg

Are you saying that this book is a hallucination? And this? And all of this?

Feel free to PR them to the awesome embedded rust list, and the matrix rooms for embedded rust and esp32 (linked on that page) are super active, so feel free to plug this there too :)

If you haven't already, feel free to PR it to the awesome embedded rust list!

list of curated rust microcontroller resources

embedded-hal trait-based HALs: There could be a better description than this. However, this category has the widest base of implementations with more options than can be mentioned here. A more comprehensive list can be found on the awesome embedded Rust repository.

For what it's worth, the ecosystem is definitely growing. See here: https://github.com/rust-embedded/awesome-embedded-rust, there are quite a few drivers for a pretty wide variety of sensors/periphs, and almost every large SoC line is supported.

Inspired by James Munns's call, and as 2023 is coming to an end, I figure it's a good opportunity to reflect and look forward to 2024. It's been a bit over 1.5 years since I embarked on my embedded Rust journey and it's been nothing less than exciting since. So here it goes.

Because you are an embedded guy. There is the https://github.com/rust-embedded/wg working-group. Rust on embedded is really on a got track forward. There are many chips/vendors that are supported both in no std / std rust world, but still there is a lot of niche things where you can actively help to be the first to get it run in Rust.

To specifically answer your question, here:

* <http://www.areweembeddedyet.com/>

It currently redirects to:

* <https://rust-embedded.org>

Which doesn't really contain anything other than a link to <https://github.com/rust-embedded>.

(via <https://github.com/rust-embedded/wg/issues/15>)

Then the Rust Embedded workgroup provides: - Direction on how to using generics and zero-sized types to achieve functional safety - svd2rust, which provides safe abstractions to peripheral access from SVD files and achieves this functional safety - The embedded HAL spec, which makes porting to different vendors/hardware easy - Peripheral access controllers and HALs for various vendors & hardware

The Rust Embedded Devices Working Group curates a list of useful embedded Rust resources, including Peripheral Access Crates (autogenerated from SVD files), embedded-hal Implementation Crates (hand-written libraries implementing the traits (interfaces) specified by the embedded-hal), and Board Support Crates.

You should also look at https://github.com/rust-embedded/wg/issues/41 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/55011#issuecomment-429336055.

Here's an interesting discussion, consolidated here. My view is you should use a restricted scope atomic (as best as can be supported) and interact with that through a handler struct. I.e. no global state.

Most of the issues are explained in EWG RFC 419. The TL;DR is that some resources need to implement Send to be usable from interrupts, but they must not be sent across cores.
