Asynchronous Rust on Cortex-M Microcontrollers

• Theseus

  32 2,735 8.8 Rust

  Theseus is a modern OS written from scratch in Rust that explores 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧: closing the semantic gap between compiler and hardware by maximally leveraging the power of language safety and affine types. Theseus aims to shift OS responsibilities like resource management into the compiler.

  

I believe that Tock (tockos.org) and Theseus (https://github.com/theseus-os/Theseus) are in this area a bit as well, just from an actual OS perspective.

I don't know much about this area, but it would be wonderful if these could work with the Libre compute boards, like the AM Logic S905X (Lepotato) or the Rock chip, since they're so much cheaper than a Pi.

  70 4,377 9.9 Rust

  Modern embedded framework, using Rust and async.

  

You can run multiple executors at different interrupt priority levels (with multiple tasks per executor), which allows tasks on the higher priority executor to interrupt other tasks. Here's an example https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy/blob/main/examples/nrf...

• WorkOS

  Open-source firmware for resin printers

Async Rust does definitely work for non-toy use cases. As a data point, we use Embassy for all production firmware at my startup (https://akiles.app/en), using async tasks for everything: Bluetooth, TCP/IP networking, motor control, user interface (LEDs, keypad), a key-value database in flash, stats collection... Async helps with battery life too since it allows putting the core to sleep when no task has work to do, it allows us to build devices with 1-2 years of battery life.

There's other companies using Embassy in production. Sadly firmwares are usually not open source. There's a few non-toy open-source projects using Embassy though:
