Does anyone know what the situation with Rust on the NRF is? It's all so new that there's no "getting started" guide, but even figuring out which repos to check out is hard.

There are crates for that [1]. But if you are new to rust and embedded, I would recommend to read through the rust embedded book [2] and practice with the stm32 board.

Ah, thanks. I'm not new to embedded, just to Rust on embedded. STM32s are a bit too overpowered for me, I usually use ESP8266s, that's why I thought the NRF might be a good bet (and better supported by Rust).

I recommend you check out the PineTime project and Lup Yuen Lee's tutorials. It might give a nice starting point.

That's fantastic, thank you!
