wasm-micro-runtime VS avr-hal

Here is what you are looking for: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-micro-runtime

No longer does Wasm/WASI need JS host! There are many spec-compliant runtimes built for environments from tiny embedded systems up to beefy arm/x86 racks:

- https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-micro-runtime

- https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime

- https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer

- https://github.com/tetratelabs/wazero

- https://github.com/extism/extism (disclaimer, my company's project - makes wasm easily embeddable into 16+ programming languages!)

The WASM core 1.1 infrastructure is already available in a very strict defined more or less guarantied compatible form on nearly any final target. Even on very small devices for embedded computing (WAMR takes less then 85kB and supports even trusted computing etc.) and in contexts, where usually no other low level development tools are available (for example within the context of Webbrowsers, sandboxed execution etc.)

WAMR and it's different AoT preprocessing and execution modes could be even more efficient. ;)

Wasm-bpf is a WebAssembly eBPF library, toolchain and runtime powered by CO-RE(Compile Once – Run Everywhere) libbpf and WAMR. It can help you build almost every eBPF programs or use cases to Wasm.

Running a Wasm application outside the browser requires an appropriate runtime that implements the WebAssembly VM and provides interfaces to the underlying system. There are a few competing solutions in this field, the most popular being wasmtime, wasmer, and WAMR.

A very interesting solution for high level interface access by less professional developers could be seen in pikascript, which works even on very small devices. WAMR is another project with similar capabilities. Both of them can be very well combined with core infrastructure realized as embedded rust code.

Seems the micro runtime also released 1.0:

But why does it not have binaries compiled and ready?

I found the generics a lot less of a problem when I realized I could parametrize on things like embedded_hal::serial::Write instead of UsartOps https://github.com/Rahix/avr-hal/pull/264/commits/17ed15321cb8fcf8aedb1f8133be1f189eb06a6f

I've come across avr-rust, avr-hal and both seem to have arduino stuff, wondering which is the most beginner friendly? (I have a bit of experience with the regular arduino IDE but want to switch over to doing all the stuff in rust for a challenge)

fyi, a minor follow-up at https://github.com/Rahix/avr-hal/issues/388

I have contributed a little to this. avr-hal I have done a couple little hobby projects with it as well, but I can't say it's the best thing out there.

All you need is in the documentation: https://rahix.github.io/avr-hal/arduino_hal/index.html even though reading the documentation without knowing what you're looking for can be quite difficult, so looking at some examples might be more helpful.

Rust language shares all advantages of efficient C++ code. With the rust community growing year after year, more and more people try using rust to program their Arduino boards. Consequently, the Arduino Rust ecosystem have significantly developed in the last couple of years. The Hardware Abstraction Layer for AVR microcontrollers avr-hal, Rudino library and ravedude CLI utility to make Rust development for AVR microcontrollers easier are just a few examples of the solid foundation developed so far.

Today I was toying with the arduino again, making an attached LED matrix print awesome messages better than it previously had. I wanted to use millis() found in the examples in the unsurpassed avr-hal crate, to orchestrate the duration it should show (part of) a character before moving on. But that is all besides the point. I made a few mistakes that coincidentally compiled and as such made me believe I was doing things right. (Perhaps I should note here that I am visually impaired so it is a bit easier for me to glance over smaller differences.)

There's a blink example in the repo for the avr-hal crate.

I'm trying to make an Arduino display text on an LCD using I2C (HD44780). So far, I've used arduino-hal from the avr-hal crate (github.com/Rahix/avr-hal) to program the Arduino, and I wonder if anyone happens to know of a library/crate which is compatible with it? So far I've only found ag-lcd which doesn't seem to work with I2C.
