Recently I began an earnest effort to bring Rust support to Zephyr. This work is now in a Zephyr module and included in the mainline support. This talk will describe where we're at with this, what can be done with it, and why someone might want to use Rust to develop a Zephyr application.

When seeking to use Rust for embedded development, there are several options, including bare-metal, a few rust-specific rtos implementations, and several existing RTOSes. This talk discusses why Zephyr is a good fit for an embedded Rust, and especially how we are able to leverage some of Zephyr's strengths, including a rich and diverse set of supported targets, and some of Zephyr's features, such as the work queue mechanism, and how it fits well with Rust's async system.
