    Thanks for mentioning it. I already tried using it a few months ago and brushed it off as still being a WIP, but it still didn't work when I tried again just a few days ago. Asking in the Matrix chat when first trying it sadly only got me a "works for me" from the developers.

    What Espressif is doing with their esp-idf and porting it to Rust is promising, but overall it still needs work. Using the toolchain to develop on the ESP32 was at least slightly painful half a year ago before they introduced espup[1], having to keep a patched LLVM around etc., and supposedly support for their Xtensa architecture is coming to LLVM soon[2] so this will improve in the future.

    I'd also love to see Bluetooth support in esp-idf-svc[3], but they seem to be lacking people with the required knowledge to design and implement an abstraction for it[4].

    Installing it locally should be relatively simple with espup, let me know if you finally decide to go for this option and have some questions!
