>The embededded working group could probably use a page listing all the platforms

I haven’t looked into which micros are supported by Rust in actuality because I checked their main site and saw an old Nordic, a few old STMs, an old NXP, and some old MSPs, then left the page.

If I was a hobbiest this might be ok and I might research it more. As a professional, I pretty much noped out of there assuming that it’s just nowhere near ready for me.

I’d like to see it work! But until there is an IDE with debugging using code overlay and breakpoints... Rust is just not for me. I wonder what year they get there?

Edit: apparently there is a gap between what hobbiests consider acceptable and what my company would need that the Rust fans can’t imagine - this somehow means my opinion isn’t valid. Let me know when Keil or IAR or anyone sells a supported and professional IDE with a Rust compiler.




I use the VS Code "CodeLLDB" extension


You do get all that today already. The various Cortex'es are supported rather well + gdb in combination with a JLink gives you the debugging interfaces you need.


You’re talking about command-line GDB?


Or anything that can talk to a gdbserver (most IDEs).
