mastodon 4.7.3Ferrous Systems builds stable software in and around Rustlang. We focus on development, tooling and training for embedded systems and network services.
Ferrocene 26.02.0 is out 🦀
Highlights:
👉 ISO 26262 ASIL B certification for part of Rust core
👉 Qualified Rust toolchain for safety-critical systems
If you’re at #ew26, come by booth 4-402 to talk to us about #embeddedRust (and get some stickers).

🦀 New on the blog: Callgraph analysis in #Ferrocene! We talk about trade-offs between different approaches, how we do it for Ferrocene and why – and how you can implement it yourself in your #RustLang code.

🗣️ 🦀 Calling #Rustaceans with a passion for formal verification:
We’re hiring for a three-year research role to help define #RustLang semantics, with an optional #PhD path.

🚀 Ferrocene 25.11.0 is out!
Includes our first IEC 61508 (SIL 2)-certified subset of core, enabling certifiable #Rust for safety-critical systems across multiple architectures.
Also includes updates from Rust 1.89 & 1.90.
🔗 Release notes: https://public-docs.ferrocene.dev/main/release-notes/25.11.0.html
🦀 We're looking to add an IDE Compiler Engineer to our team! Working with the compiler lead, you'll support our customers with improvements to our tooling infrastructure and compiler.

🦀 #RustLang now targets Cortex-R82 / R82AE.
Support for Armv8-R AArch64 means Rust can run in a new class of performance-oriented real-time systems. Nice step toward bringing memory-safe tooling into more embedded and safety-critical environments.
For teams that need it, Ferrocene provides a qualified toolchain.
If you’re at #EmbeddedWorld March 10 - 12, come say hi 👋

🦀 #WeekendRead for #rustlang folks
What makes a good hardware API in embedded Rust @thejpster@hachyderm.io shares practical insights from working on bare metal platforms – and where API design can introduce friction for developers.
A must-read if you’re building or using embedded Rust platforms: https://ferrous-systems.com/blog/hardware-access-rust/
Next week, @skade@hachyderm.io will be on stage at the US Automotive Computing Conference in Detroit talking about #Ferrocene and our qualified software journey. And we're excited to see that #RustLang will be well represented on stage with Florian as well as a keynote from Pete LeVasseur on #RustLang in safety-critical development.

Open Sourcing Ferrocene! ✨🎉
🎃 No tricks, just type safety.
At Ferrous Systems, we believe code should be safe, not scary.
Happy Halloween! 👻🦀
