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
