Rust Embedded

Rust on Embedded Devices Working Group

This organization focuses on improving the end-to-end experience of using Rust in resource-constrained environments and non-traditional platforms.

We are an official working group of the Rust language.

Want to get started with embedded development with Rust? Check out our embedded Rust book, the new discovery book, and the rest of our bookshelf.

Want to stay up-to-date with community progress? Check out our newsletter.

Vision

What is it that we really want? At a broad level:

  • To improve the absolute quality (functionality, safety, performance) of embedded software in the wild.
  • To improve the productivity of embedded software development teams, by reducing the tangible and intangible costs of achieving a level of quality.
  • To improve the experience for programmers developing for embedded systems.
  • To make embedded systems programming more accessible for people that are not already embedded systems developers.
