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 anofficial working group of the Rust language.

Want to get started with embedded development with Rust? Check out ourembedded Rust book, thenew discovery book, and the rest of ourbookshelf.

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

Vision

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

To improve the absolute quality (functionality, safety, performance) of embedded software in thewild.
To improve the productivity of embedded software development teams, by reducing the tangible andintangible 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 embeddedsystems developers.

Where to go from here
