Rust for Embedded Systems and IoT

Reactive Publishing

Discover how to build reliable, memory-safe embedded systems using Rust, the modern programming language that is transforming firmware development.

"Rust for Embedded Systems and IoT: Memory-Safe Firmware Development with Embassy, RTIC, and Tock" provides a practical guide to developing embedded applications and IoT devices with Rust's powerful ownership model and fearless concurrency.

You'll learn how to leverage three of the most respected Rust frameworks in the embedded space:

• Embassy - for building efficient async applications and drivers
• RTIC - for real-time, interrupt-driven concurrency done right
• Tock - for secure, capability-based operating systems on microcontrollers

This book focuses on real-world patterns for writing production-grade firmware, including memory safety techniques, hardware abstraction, device driver development, sensor integration, and asynchronous runtimes tailored for resource-constrained environments.

Whether you are an embedded systems engineer transitioning from C/C++, a firmware developer exploring modern alternatives, or an IoT specialist looking to reduce bugs and improve reliability, this book offers clear explanations and hands-on guidance for using Rust effectively in embedded projects.

What You'll Gain:

• Strong understanding of Rust's memory safety guarantees in bare-metal and RTOS environments
• Practical experience with Embassy, RTIC, and Tock
• Techniques for building robust device drivers and sensor networks
• Best practices for real-time systems and low-level hardware interaction

Written for developers with basic Rust knowledge who want to apply it to embedded and IoT development.
