Jens Siebert gave a presentation on using Rust for embedded systems. He discussed the history and characteristics of Rust, how it provides memory safety and concurrency without overhead. He also covered Rust's support for embedded targets through crates like embedded-hal and board-specific crates. As an example, he showed how to set up a project to blink an LED on the Raspberry Pi Pico using Rust and its embedded ecosystem. He concluded that Rust is well-suited for embedded due to its performance, safety features, architecture support, and available drivers, though it has a steep learning curve.
