Rust for bare metal firmware, specifically on ARM, as a replacement for C/C++ with static analyzers.

I'm trying out some embedded rust on arm. Tried using the rump kernel but it was a non starter. Now making headway with the yocto project [0].

I'd be interested to know if you're running rust embedded and if so how easy it is to get started.

https://github.com/rust-embedded is a new organization working through how to improve Rust on embedded.

Any good resources on where to get started with this style of programming. I am getting bored of the web dev churn and this side of things seems more stable and Rust looks nice.

The rust book on the website is free and pretty good.

I have been going through that. I was meaning more in an overall context of systems programming concepts I might need to know.

Ah, I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with systems programming concepts to help there, sorry.
