Top 8 Rust Embedded System Projects

defmt

17 711 8.9 Rust

Efficient, deferred formatting for logging on embedded systems

Project mention: I built a column staggered keyboard with firmware written in Rust! | /r/rust | 2023-07-31

As someone who had only done embedded programming in the Arduino IDE, utilizing the defmt crate for logging with OpenOCD and GDB was an amazing experience. Although I still had no idea on to implement USB-HID for actually sending the key reports, until I discovered the usbd-human-interface-device crate and everything became so much easier. I just needed to create an iterator over Keyboard events and the crate would handle the rest as an added benefit the crate also supports multiple devices, so adding mouse support was as easy as creating a separate iterator over WheelMouseReport.
