The Embedded Rust Book is official documentation teaching how to use Rust to develop firmware for bare-metal microcontroller devices, with examples focused on ARM Cortex-M. It covers setting up a development environment, best practices, and recipes like mixing C and Rust.

Use cases

• learn embedded rust programming
• set up a rust development environment for microcontrollers
• write firmware for bare metal devices in rust
• find best practices for embedded rust development
• learn how to mix C and rust in an embedded project
• get started with ARM Cortex-M development in rust

When to choose

• you want to learn or teach embedded Rust development
• you need current best practices for writing firmware in Rust
• you are targeting ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers
• you want a free, continuously updated reference

When to avoid

• you need documentation for a specific microcontroller vendor's SDK
• you are not using Rust for embedded development
• you need a runnable tool or library rather than a book
