Discovery is an open-source book from the Rust Embedded working group that teaches microcontroller programming through Rust, with versions targeting the micro:bit v2, micro:bit v1, and STM32F3 discovery boards. It combines tutorial documentation with hands-on example code licensed under CC-BY 4.0 and Apache-2.0/MIT.

Use cases

• learn embedded programming with Rust from scratch
• get started with microcontrollers using a micro:bit v2
• find a beginner tutorial for Rust on STM32 boards
• work through hands-on embedded Rust examples
• teach a workshop on Rust and microcontrollers
• understand no_std Rust development on hardware

When to choose

• you are new to embedded systems and want a guided Rust introduction
• you own a micro:bit v2, micro:bit v1, or STM32F3 discovery board
• you prefer learning through a structured book with runnable examples

When to avoid

• you need production embedded Rust guidance rather than a beginner tutorial
• you target Espressif or other boards not covered by the book
• you already know embedded Rust and only need API reference material
