Can Rust Work for Safety Critical Embedded System?

Rust is a relatively new programming language that has garnered support from developers working on everything from Linux device drivers to cloud services. Rust pointer management is one thing that makes the language stand out.  

As an open-source project, it cannot be used directly in many applications where things like IEC 62304 and ISO 26262 are needed. This requires a version that meets these requirements which is where Ferrous Systems’ Ferrocene comes into play.  

In this episode, Ferrous Systems’ Florian Gilcher talks about Rust, Ferrocene, and how these it brings Rust into the world of rugged and embedded systems.
