Happy to share news of Ferrocene 26.08.0, the latest release of the quality-managed, TÜV SÜD-qualified, open source Rust toolchain. What's new: - Updates from Rust 1.96 and 1.97 - Three newly qualified targets 🔗 Read more: ferrocene.dev/blogs/ferroc... #Ferrocene #RustLang #SafetyCriticalSoftware

Please, install and test the latest probe-rs. @dbuga.bsky.social merged all of my proposed fixes/improvements. If you have cortex-m devices, make sure to check that there are no known regressions. I checked with STM32G071RB, MCXA266, MSPM0G3519, and STM32F405.

These embedded crates are peak software quality. Thank you for making durable software that serves as a foundation: - cortex_m - probe_rs - defmt - svd2rust - heapless #rustlang

KiCad 10.0.7 is Released! Get while it is hot! Who are we kidding? KiCad is perma-hot.... But grab your copy anyway www.kicad.org/blog/2026/10...

I'm sure it will fit 😅🤡

So it begins...

You know when you get an idea, and start working on it ... and 70% in you ask yourself, what have I done? How will I ever finish this? When an idea wins ... 😅 Might as well finish the hardware right?

My async compiler work got funded! So here's my first PR: github.com/rust-lang/ru... Roughly, it changes match x { true => foo(1).await, false => foo(2).await, } to match x { true => foo(1), false => foo(2), }.await This means the future will only have 1 state instead of 2

Some hopefully interesting reflections on how the team at my day job made the world’s first functional safety certified product based on Rust. This was a massive undertaking, and I think some of you might appreciate it 🦀 #rust #rustlang #safety #functionalsafety www.sonair.com/journal/how-...

I wanted to write about asynchrous time, but first I have to give you a history lesson: thejpster.org.uk/blog/blog-20...

Final part of my async blog! tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/237/... Last time I shared some tips for improving your async code. Now we look at why the compiler doesn't do it for us. I want to fix it in the compiler, but I need your help! If you can help with funding, reach out to me. Please share :)

Who's written a FIQ handler before?

Async Rust is amazing, but not flawless; async bloat is an issue. In this blog, @diondokter.nl explains the causes of async bloat, and some workarounds: tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/235/... #rustlang #embedded #async

KiCad version 10 is out today! Lots of features, lots of speed. We hope you like it. www.kicad.org/blog/2026/03...

We're going to Nuremberg! You can find us at #EmbeddedWorld in Hall 4 at booth 4-402. Come say hi!

Bare-metal SMP Armv8-R AArch32 in Rust, ping ponging Software Generated Interrupts between cores using the Generic Interrupt Controller v3. I'm very happy to see this working. github.com/thejpster/aa...

Hell yeah, Cortex-R (ARMv7-R) support in probe-rs :D github.com/probe-rs/pro...

After poking the PL192 VIC registers in our Cortex-R5F for a few hours and wondering why nothing is happening (and no hardfaults 🤔), remember to double check that the vendor has not replaced the standard interrupt controller with their own 💔 Assumptions is the mother of all ... VIM != VIC

Rust 1.93.0 has been released! 🌈 🦀✨ This release includes a new musl version for the *-linux-musl targets, adds support for #​[cfg] inside asm!(), and adds [T]::as_array, VecDeque::{pop_front_if, pop_back_if}, Vec/String::into_raw_parts, fmt::form_fn, and more! ✨ blog.rust-lang.org/2026/01/22/R...

It's been 0 days since I had to convince someone that CRC is not equivalent to encryption.

Linkers for embedded kinda suck, no? Do you work at a big company who could use a new one? At @tweedegolf.bsky.social we have some amazing people who could build an awesome new embedded linker. We should talk.

Typst 0.14 is out now! Get ready for production with accessibility, PDFs as images, character-level justification, and more. Learn about more of the highlights in Typst 0.14 in the thread below ⤵️

Ah yes, the radio test box that finds 99% of logic errors 😁 The kind of automated testing that can be done is an absolute treasure. Yankiness is included.

I'm excited to share what I've been working on with @erikjee.bsky.social: RustNL's #rustlang Maintainers Fund! Many people and companies contributing to Rust, but there are fewer and fewer paid positions for general maintenance (reviews,cleanups,etc). We need to fix that. bsky.app/profile/rust...

We need your help to get Typst 0.14 over the finish line: The release candidate with accessible PDFs, character-level justification (not even in LaTeX!), and more landed today! Check your documents, packages and against "Typst 0.14.0 Testing" on the web or the new compiler.

Them: But no-one is using Rust in Production Me: Well, actually… ferrous-systems.com/blog/rust-wh...

Cool! Happy with the playground result. Love how instant compilation is :D I've probably committed crimes against the web with my HTML/CSS skills, but it works :) diondokter.github.io/device-drive... The home page is super mega WIP, but that wait can until other more important stuff is done.

Rust 1.90.0 has been released! ✨🦀 This release makes LLD the default linker on x86-64 linux-gnu and adds `cargo publish --workspace` to publish an entire workspace all at once! Check out the blog post and release notes for more: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/09/18/R...

So, how yanky are your test setups at work sometimes? I'll start 😅

New heapless version is out! blog.rust-embedded.org/heapless-091 (And it's looking juicy)

We're launching the embedded-cal project: Providing access to hardware accelerated and formally proven cryptographic algorithms on #embedded systems in #RustLang. For this, I'm teaming up with @inria Paris and @cryspen, supported by the #EU funded @NGIZero. Right now we're going through […]

Rust 1.88.0 has been released! ✨🎊 🦀 This release brings you let chains, naked functions, automatic Cargo cache cleaning, Cell::update, proc_macro span locations, as_chunks methods on slices, and more! Check out the blog post and release notes for all the details: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/06/26/R...

I feel like there would be a HUGE amount of ecosystem value for Rust and async/await, if there was funding and the right dev(s) available to focus on improving: * Memory usage + copies of futures/async fns: particularly wrt overlapping data across yield * Improving codegen size/perf * opt-footguns

I'm giving a talk at Oxidize conference 2025, hope to meet you all there 🚀🎉

University took it's toll. Korken = bottle cap ... 😅

I remember reading long ago that COBS framing with CRCs as part of the data could greatly reduce the effectiveness of the CRC checksum and that care beds to be taken, but I'm unable to find where I read this. Does anyone know where this comes from, or if I'm mistaken?

🦀 Hello World! The Rust project now has an official presence on Bluesky! ✨ We'll be posting the same on our Mastodon and Bluesky accounts, so you won't miss anything on either platform.

MISRA have produced a document outlining how MISRA C rules apply to both safe and unsafe Rust. It’s like someone designed a language to fix a bunch of obvious pain points. misra.org.uk/app/uploads/...

People: The #rustlang std is way too small! Me, an embedded developer used to #![no_std]:
