Xargo is a CLI tool that builds and manages Rust sysroots, letting you cross-compile the standard library (core/std) for targets without prebuilt binaries, such as bare-metal ARM targets. It also supports building customized std crates with specific compiler flags and features.
Use cases
- cross compile rust for thumbv6m-none-eabi bare metal target
- build rust core crate for a target without binary releases
- customize std with panic=abort for embedded rust
- build rust no_std project for microcontroller
- manage rust sysroots for cross compilation
When to choose
- cross-compiling Rust to bare-metal or no_std targets lacking prebuilt std
- needing a customized std built with specific flags or features
When to avoid
- modern Rust with build-std nightly feature, which replaces xargo
- ordinary hosted-target Rust development that never needs custom sysroots
