    > a cool way to work with rust on the RP2040/2350

    Pick up an RPi Pico (and one of their debugger probes) or a Xiao board with an RP2040 or RP2350, and try playing around with Embassy. It's super easy to get started and has been, by far, my favorite way to develop embedded projects.

    > the most mysterious part of rust on MCUs for me is the world of bit twiddling and register accesses from a safe language

    Rust mostly generates safe APIs to modify registers from things like SVD files. These are typically organized as a PAC (Peripheral Access Crate). Here's an example:

    https://docs.rs/rp2040-pac/0.6.0/rp2040_pac/

    This automation generates type-safe structs that you let you read and modify the various bits in a register, with volatile writes and all of that. You could probably have an LLM (or a google search) explain PACs and how they're typically used and I think you'll get it.

    Then a HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) is usually built up using the register operations from the PAC in order to expose a safe Rust interface over a particular peripheral.

    * the software task checks if it is done, and either reloads/restarts if there's more to do, or returns "done"

    It's really not different than event driven state machines you would have written before, it's just "in-band" of the language now, and async/await gives you syntax to do it.

    Even if you don't know Rust, I'd suggest poking around at some of the examples here:

    https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy/tree/main/examples

    And if you want, look into the code behind it.

  • Zero-copy protobuf and ConnectRPC for Rust
    9 projects | dev.to | 25 Mar 2026
    The core runtime is no_std + alloc, with optional JSON serialization via serde. Enabling std adds std::io integration and std::time conversions, but the wire format, views, and JSON all work without it. Rust is well suited to embedded systems and constrained environments, and I believe that protobufs can also be beneficial in such scenarios. The encoding is efficient, and makes it easier for these systems to integrate with the broader ecosystem. While we have not yet pushed this to the logical conclusion of a partial ConnectRPC implementation that works with embassy, reqwless, and/or picoserve, the door is open for others to implement this.

    (Embassy dev here)

    You can get preemptive scheduling of async tasks with InterruptExecutor. You create one executor for each priority level, then spawn the tasks in the right one. The latency of the executor and the compiler-generated async state machines is predictable, so you can use Embassy for hard real-time work. See example: https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy/blob/main/examples/nrf...

    Additionally the executor has support for scheduling tasks by priority or deadline within a single priority level. (in latest git, will be in next crates.io release)

    well, Rust didn't do the same thing for a reason. Rust lets you pick and choose what async runtime to use (even though everyone has decided to use Tokio anyways). This is good because it allows for alternative async runtimes like Embassy (https://embassy.dev/) and it also doesn't freeze the API into something that can't change. It could totally be possible that people find a new style of async that works better than std::execution.
