Embassy
Embassy is a project to make async/await a first-class option for embedded development. For more information and instructions to get started, click here.
Traits and types
embassy
provides a set of traits and types specifically designed for async
usage.
embassy::io
:AsyncBufRead
,AsyncWrite
. Traits for byte-stream IO, essentiallyno_std
compatible versions offutures::io
.embassy::traits::flash
: Flash device trait.embassy::time
:Clock
andAlarm
traits. Std-likeDuration
andInstant
.- More traits for SPI, I2C, UART async HAL coming soon.
Executor
The embassy::executor
module provides an async/await executor designed for embedded usage.
- No
alloc
, no heap needed. Task futures are statically allocated. - No "fixed capacity" data structures, executor works with 1 or 1000 tasks without needing config/tuning.
- Integrated timer queue: sleeping is easy, just do
Timer::after(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
. - No busy-loop polling: CPU sleeps when there's no work to do, using interrupts or
WFE/SEV
. - Efficient polling: a wake will only poll the woken task, not all of them.
- Fair: a task can't monopolize CPU time even if it's constantly being woken. All other tasks get a chance to run before a given task gets polled for the second time.
- Creating multiple executor instances is supported, to run tasks with multiple priority levels. This allows higher-priority tasks to preempt lower-priority tasks.
Utils
embassy::util
contains some lightweight async/await utilities, mainly helpful for async driver development (signaling a task that an interrupt has occured, for example).
embassy-nrf
The embassy-nrf
crate contains implementations for nRF 52 series SoCs.
uarte
: UARTE driver implementingAsyncBufRead
andAsyncWrite
.qspi
: QSPI driver implementingFlash
.gpiote
: GPIOTE driver. Allowsawait
ing GPIO pin changes. Great for reading buttons or receiving interrupts from external chips.rtc
: RTC driver implementingClock
andAlarm
, for use withembassy::executor
.
Running the examples
Examples are for the nRF52840 chip but should be easily adaptable to other nRF52 chips.
GPIO pins are set up for the nrf52840-dk
board (PCA10056)
- Install
probe-run
with defmt support.
cargo install probe-run
- Run the example
cargo run --bin rtc_async
Minimum supported Rust version (MSRV)
Only recent nighly supported. Nightly is required for:
generic_associated_types
: for trait funcs returning futures.type_alias_impl_trait
: for trait funcs returning futures implemented withasync{}
blocks, and forstatic-executor
.
Stable support is a non-goal until these features get stabilized.
Why the name?
EMBedded ASYnc! :)
