Tools

  • xargo Rust package manager with support for non-default std libraries — build Rust runtime for your embedded system.
    • xargo is great, but since it's in maintenance mode, cargo-xbuild is catching up as its intended replacement.

The list below contains drivers that have achieved the "released" status. To add a driver to this list, please ensure that your driver has a short blog post, article, or sufficiently explanatory README showing an example of its use. Ideally, this post would demonstrate using the device in a small project so that a Rust and/or embedded newcomer can also understand it. Otherwise, please add it to the WIP section below.
