esp-hal

Hardware Abstraction Layer crates for the ESP32, ESP32-C2/C3/C6, ESP32-H2, and ESP32-S2/S3 from Espressif.

These HALs are no_std; if you are looking for std support, please use esp-idf-hal instead.

This project is still in the early stages of development, and as such there should be no expectation of API stability. A significant number of peripherals currently have drivers implemented (you can see a full list here) but have varying levels of functionality. For most basic tasks, this should be usable already.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please open an issue, start a new discussion, or join us on Matrix. For additional information regarding any of the crates in this repository, please refer to the crate's README.

Quickstart

If you have not already, we strongly encourage you to read The Rust on ESP Book prior to starting.

We recommend using cargo-generate and esp-template in order to generate a new project. This will allow you to generate a minimal project skeleton with all the required dependencies and configuration ready to go.

You can install cargo-generate and generate a new project by running:

$ cargo install cargo-generate
$ cargo generate -a esp-rs/esp-template

For more information on using this template, please refer to its README.

Ancillary Crates

There are a number of other crates within the esp-rs organization which can be used in conjunction with esp-hal:

Crate	Description
esp-alloc	A simple no_std heap allocator
esp-backtrace	Backtrace support for bare-metal applications
esp-ieee802154	Low-level IEEE802.15.4 driver for the ESP32-C6 and ESP32-H2
esp-println	Provides print! and println! implementations
esp-storage	Implementation of embedded-storage traits to access unencrypted flash memory
esp-wifi	no_std Wi-Fi/Bluetooth LE support

MSRV

The Minimum Supported Rust Versions are:

• 1.65.0 for RISC-V devices (ESP32-C2, ESP32-C3, ESP32-C6, ESP32-H2)
• 1.65.0 for Xtensa devices (ESP32, ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3)
• 1.67.0 for all async examples (embassy_hello_world, embassy_wait, etc.)

Note that targeting the Xtensa ISA currently requires the use of the esp-rs/rust compiler fork. Our recommend method of installation is espup.

RISC-V is officially supported by the official Rust compiler.

Git Hooks

We provide a simple pre-commit hook to verify the formatting of each package prior to committing changes. We strongly encourage use of this git hook.

The hook can be enabled by placing it in the .git/hooks/ directory:

$ cp pre-commit .git/hooks/pre-commit

When using this hook, you can choose to ignore its failure on a per-commit basis by committing with the --no-verify flag; however, you will need to be sure that all packages are formatted when submitting a pull request.
