RIOT Summit 2024, "RIOT-rs: Re-imagining RIOT in Rust"

The Linux kernel has integrated Rust support, and many pure-Rust projects for the type of devices that RIOT targets have popped up – Tock OS, Hubris, Embassy, to name a few. Furthermore, there’s a fast-growing ecosystem of MCU, driver & library projects written in Rust. Last year, we’ve presented a RIOT-rs, a prototype that explored ways of bringing the best of RIOT to Rust. This talk will show how the RIOT-rs project evolved since then: RIOT-rs provides a framework that is based on Embassy, adds a preemptive scheduler and a meta build system, and integrates a curated list of libraries and tools, aiming to provide the ease of use and approachability of RIOT with the robustness, ergonomics and safety properties of Rust. --- Kaspar Schleiser is an em
