The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

The Embedded Rust ESP Development Ecosystem
The no-std ecosystem follows the same layering approach that exists within embedded Rust. In embedded Rust, there are several levels of abstraction that are introduced on top of microcontroller hardware as shown in the figure below. The first level is the peripheral access crate (PAC) which gives us access to low-level microcontroller registers at the bit level. It's also worth noting that the PAC is specific to a particular microcontroller series. For ESP devices the different PACs are captured in the esp-pacs repository. The microarchitecture crate is at a similar abstraction level to the PAC but specific to processor core (Ex. RISC-V) functions.

The Embedded Rust ESP Development Ecosystem
Among these several abstractions, we can program a microcontroller device at any level we like. Additionally, we can develop code with a mix of low-level and high-level abstractions. Obviously, to make code more portable it's better to stick to higher-level abstractions. Also in addition to the above, there exists other crates supporting other functions in no-std development. These include wifi services in the esp-wifi repository, heap allocators in the esp-alloc repository, logging features in the esp-println repository, exception handlers in the esp-backtrace repository, and finally embedded storage traits in the esp-storage repository.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing esp-pacs and esp-backtrace you can also consider the following projects:
esp-wifi - A WiFi, Bluetooth and ESP-NOW driver for use with Espressif chips and bare-metal Rust
esp-alloc - A simple `no_std` heap allocator for RISC-V and Xtensa processors from Espressif
esp-hal - no_std Hardware Abstraction Layers for ESP32 microcontrollers
esp-println - Provides print! and println! implementations various Espressif devices
esp-storage - implementation of embedded-storage traits to access unencrypted ESP32 flash
novusk - A kernel written in Rust
