Hey! Feel free to check out what we have going on at https://github.com/rust-embedded/wg, and our docs with getting started guides at https://docs.rust-embedded.org!

Hey, Author of the first link above. The Teensy3 crate was some of my first embedded work, I was working with SimonSapin (author of the 4th link) at RustFest to get something working. That library wraps some of the Teensyduino code using bindgen, which gives you the ability to write application code using Rust. Overall, the Teensy 3.1/3.2 family wasn't great for developing Rust, as they don't have debugger (SWD, similar to JTAG) lines available, meaning you have to use the serial bootloader, and rely on a serial port for all debugging. I believe the newer version of the board expose SWD lines now, so it's not a problem. Let me know if you have any questions :) Definitely check out the embedded WG[1], and the new Rust homepage[2] [1]: https://github.com/rust-embedded/wg [2]: http://beta.rust-lang.org/what/embedded

For anyone that might be interested, there were some efforts some time back to get Rust running on the Teensy[1][2][3][4], and although there have been no recent updates, the code is available to use and should still be relevant although there have been changes[5][6][7] in the meantime.

Hey, member of the embedded wg here. Originally, our first push was to get Cortex M bare metal microcontrollers as a "Tier 1" stable target for the 2018 edition of Rust. Over the last couple months, we've been expanding, and have subteams for a bunch of different topics, including chip support, drivers, documentation, tooling, etc. We're mostly focused on helping other people who are getting started with embedded rust, as well as give feedback to the compiler teams, etc. It would be interesting to hear more about your porting attempt, we also have a blog - https://rust-embedded.github.io/blog/ - if you'd like to share it as a blog post. As Steve mentioned, https://github.com/rust-embedded/wg is our main coordination repo, and has links to most of the stuff we're actively working on.

Oh cool! https://github.com/rust-embedded/wg

What exactly are you wanting to do with it? There's a few different things might want, and for many of them, there may be alternatives that work just as well, if not better (e.g. instrinsics for the operations like SIMD: https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/embedded-wg/issues/63).

Rust looks promising, but it is not ready yet. I use it on iMX6, which is relatively powerful system, but on NRF52 we still use C. Maybe I will use it on NRF52 when support for bare hardware metal will be in stable (working group[1] is working on that). [1]: https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/embedded-wg
