Zinc is an experimental bare-metal stack for Rust targeting ARM microcontrollers, aiming to provide an RTOS-like foundation written entirely in safe Rust with a compile-time-verified hardware configuration DSL (Platform Tree). It supports NXP LPC, Freescale K20, and ST STM32 processor families.

Use cases

  • write bare-metal ARM firmware in Rust
  • embedded development without C code
  • verify hardware configuration at compile time
  • build a minimal RTOS-like stack in Rust
  • experiment with Rust safety features on microcontrollers

When to choose

  • studying historical approaches to safe embedded Rust
  • researching compile-time hardware verification ideas

When to avoid

  • starting a new embedded Rust project today
  • needing maintained tooling or broad hardware support
  • requiring stable Rust toolchains
