Agreed. I really like Embassy, and the write up is a fun read. But, this isn't what "real" embedded software looks like.

I wanted to switch to Rust for new embedded project. I was looking for native RTOS, and embassy came up. But i always feel like it's hacky to me. What i want is RTOS that is similar to FreeRTOS or Zephyr.

  • Why is that? What do those have that embassy does not (or vice-versa)?

    • It's not about features, i believe i am not that advance user. It's just different from the RTOS i used to work on. Most of exist C RTOS work quite similar(FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX), the difference is mostly in API and Software support arround the core kernel.

      But Embassy, with different task switching mechanism, mean i need to learn another new concept, understanding the pros/cons. That is not what i want to do when busy adapting to Rust.
