  • rp-hal

    A Rust Embedded-HAL for the rp series microcontrollers

  • What are you on about, can you clarify? Rust can compile in no-std/embedded style just as fine (or better) than C can for basically any ARM or RISCV based processor, and quick googling shows this hal for nearly all pi needs and even MEGA65 is "as supported" (read: not at all officially by anything, fan-only) as any current C compiler. Setting up rust for a new target, so long as the code-gen is supported somehow by LLVM, LLVM plugin, LLVM IR transpiler (and maybe libgcc-jit sort of soon) is just as painful or unpainful as setting up a whole team to work via C/C++ with comparable testing harnesses. This doesn't mean easy and is an area Rust is still improving rapidly by the various enterprise agencies (Ferrous systems, Oxide, more I can't remember...) who specifically want to bring rust to such low end hardware because frankly both C and C++ suck with vendor proprietary tool chains and quirks.

  • mega65-adventure

    Playground for MEGA65 programming

  • yew

    Rust / Wasm framework for creating reliable and efficient web applications

  • 1) Read The Rust Book 2) Start building things with yew.rs 3) If you want to learn the back-end side of Rust for web-dev, read zero2production 4) Find a mentor at awesome-rust-mentors

  • rust-mos

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

  • The MEGA 65 doesn't appear to have shipped yet. The best data I could find is the MEGA 65 is based on a "GS4510". The "GS4510" is compatible with a "4502", which in turn is compatible with the 65CE02. The 65CE02 uses a different manufacturing process but the same ISA as the 6502, which is supported by rust-mos and lvm-mos](https://github.com/llvm-mos/llvm-mos).

  • llvm-mos

    Port of LLVM to the MOS 6502 and related processors
