First steps with Embedded Rust: Selecting a board

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • atsamd

    Target atsamd microcontrollers using Rust

  • No love for Microchip nee Atmel? https://github.com/atsamd-rs/atsamd

  • nrf-hal

    A Rust HAL for the nRF family of devices

  • Really good. Check out the examples in the nrf-hal repo. Also, if you don't mind forking out for some extra components the Knurling sessions by Ferrous Systems are ace.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • discovery

    Discover the world of microcontrollers through Rust!

  • > currently being rewritten Some things are still missing

  • nrf-softdevice

  • The Embassy project provides an async wrapper for the Nordic BLE soft device: https://github.com/embassy-rs/nrf-softdevice

  • microbit

    A Rust crate for BBC micro:bit development

  • I would say yes. If you get something like a BBC micor:bit you'll be able to run the microbit examples straight out if the box.

  • avr-hal

    embedded-hal abstractions for AVR microcontrollers

  • I think programming AVR controllers has become easier since nightly rustc can be used. However, not all the documentation is up to date and the community seems a bit fragmented between the avr-rust repos and avr-hal. If you want to use your uno I would suggest checking out the uno examples on avr-hal.

  • riscv-rust-quickstart

    A template for building Rust applications for HiFive1 boards

  • You can get started here

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
