alkyn

Embedded Rust OS with a focus on Erlang style message passing.

Currently a prototype OS to asses the feasability of using Rust. Runs on the RP2040 micro-controller.

Prerequisites

Alkyn requires:

• Rust Nightly
• A probe-run compatible debug probe
• An RP2040 based device

Alkyn's examples also use flip-link as the linker, which should be installed as follows:

cargo install flip-link

Alkyn should work without this in your own projects, but its use is recommened.

Examples

Examples are in the /examples directory and can be run on an RP2040 device by running:

cargo run --example threads

lib.rs:

Alkyn kernel for the RP2040 MCU.

The Alkyn kernel is a small prototype Kernel exploring the usability of Erlang-style message passing in microcontroller kernels.

It should not, as of June 2022, be considered production ready.

Minimum supported Rust version

Nightly, as new as you can get; I've done some terrible things

Safety

Horrendous.
