Overview

What it does: Robotheca's summary

  • Lets embedded code use Rust async/await for multitasking, with tasks compiled into state machines that run cooperatively without dynamic allocation.
  • Provides HALs for STM32, nRF52/53/54/91, RP2040/RP23xx, MSPM0, MCX-A and other chip families, with ESP32 support in a separate project.
  • Offers a globally available time library with Instant, Duration and Timer types.
  • Supports real-time use through multiple executors with different priorities, so higher-priority tasks can preempt lower ones.
  • Puts the core to sleep when no work is pending, with tasks woken by interrupts, for low-power devices.
  • Includes a network stack (Ethernet, IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, DHCP), a USB device stack, BLE host support and a power-fail-safe bootloader with rollback.
