embedded-hal
A Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for embedded systems
This project is developed and maintained by the HAL team.
API reference
Scope
embedded-hal serves as a foundation for building an ecosystem of platform agnostic drivers.
(driver meaning library crates that let a target platform interface an external device like a digital
sensor or a wireless transceiver).
The advantage of this system is that by writing the driver as a generic library on top
of embedded-hal driver authors can support any number of target
platforms (e.g. Cortex-M microcontrollers, AVR microcontrollers, embedded Linux, etc.).
The advantage for application developers is that by adopting embedded-hal they can unlock all
these drivers for their platform.
embedded-hal is not tied to a specific execution model like blocking or non-blocking.
For functionality that goes beyond what is provided by embedded-hal, users are encouraged
to use the target platform directly. Abstractions of common functionality can be proposed to be
included into embedded-hal as described in this guide, though.
See more about the design goals in this documentation section.
Releases
At the moment we are working towards a 1.0.0 release (see #177). During this process we will
release alpha versions like 1.0.0-alpha.1 and 1.0.0-alpha.2.
Alpha releases are not guaranteed to be compatible with each other.
They are provided as early previews for community testing and preparation for the final release.
If you use an alpha release, we recommend you choose an exact version specification in your
Cargo.toml like: embedded-hal = "=1.0.0-alpha.2"
See this guide for a way to implement both an embedded-hal 0.2.x
version and an -alpha version side by side in a HAL.

Implementations and drivers
For a non-exhaustive list of embedded-hal implementations and driver crates check the
awesome-embedded-rust list.
You may be able to find even more HAL implementation crates and driver crates by searching for the
embedded-hal-impl, embedded-hal-driver and embedded-hal keywords
on crates.io.
Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)
This crate is guaranteed to compile on stable Rust 1.54 and up. It might
compile with older versions but that may change in any new patch release.
