RIOT-rs

Rust & RIOT OS combined for ergonomic embedded development

This is an experimental project trying to provide a nice base OS for embedded development on low-end IoT devices (with some kilobytes of RAM/flash, think Cortex-M). It combines the awesome Rust embedded ecosystem with RIOT OS.

This is highly experimental. Expect heavy changes and breakage!

If you're looking for a more production ready way of writing RIOT applications in Rust, check out riot-wrappers.

Supported hardware

This currently only supports the Nordic nrf52840dk and the Raspberry Pi Pico.

Goals

  • improve RIOT OS using the merits of Rust.
  • provide a "rusty" development workflow (e.g., using cargo / crates.io)
  • provide a nice Rust API, framework and collection of crates suitable for embedded development
  • rewrite parts of RIOT in Rust to improve robustness and maintainability

Status

The current iteration of RIOT-rs combines embassy with a preemptive scheduler and adds some integration and build system work. It's highly experimental, expect frequent changes and breakage.

Quickstart

Assuming you have a Nordic nrf52840dk connected, this should get you somewhere:

Prerequisites

1.install needed system dependencies. On Ubuntu, this should be sufficient:

    apt-get install build-essential curl git python3 pkg-config \
               libssl-dev llvm-dev cmake libclang-dev gcc-arm-none-eabi \
               clang libnewlib-nano-arm-none-eabi unzip lld ninja-build

  1. install rustup

  2. install laze: cargo install laze

  3. install probe-rs: cargo install probe-rs --features cli (2023-10-17: if that fails, try from git: cargo install --git https://github.com/probe-rs/probe-rs --features cli)

  4. clone this repository and cd into it

Run some example

  1. Compile, flash and the hello-world example using probe-rs run

     laze -C examples/hello-world build -b nrf52840dk -s probe-rs-run run

Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)

RIOT-rs makes heavy use of Rust unstable features. For the time being, it is recommended to use a current nightly.
