We are all being urged to work in Rust because its safer, but this is easier said than done. The embedded world in particular really needs a memory-safe language, but Rust gets surprisingly little support from manufacturers. SDKs are written in C and not Rust. The good news is that Espressif is working to produce an official Rust-based SDK for its microprocessors and you can start to work with the [ ... ]

This book demonstrates how to interact with the hardware using Linux drivers and via Gpio5, a new open source IoT library created by Harry Fairhead that provides direct access to the Pi 5’s hardware. As the Pi 5 uses the RP1 chip to implement its peripherals, it does not work with the usual IoT libraries such as Wiring Pi, bcm2835, pigpio and so on. Gpio5, is designed to replace them and provide direct access to GPIO, PWM, I2C, SPI and more. This makes the Pi 5 much more capable of IoT applications.
