Add support for generating embassy/async projects

[MabezDev]

We should probably add an embassy_main macro for Xtensa to make this easier.

I would love to have an example/template with async, embassy, and esp.

[MabezDev]

We have plenty of async examples in esp-hal, and esp-wifi. As well as some projects in awesome-esp-rust. Would be nice to support generation here though, but it gets a bit tricky with the number of options we have.

We have plenty of async examples in esp-hal, and esp-wifi.

I was struggling a bit with the different options, compilation issues (around atomic-polyfil, portable-atomic, newer embassy versions, …). It took me a while, but in the end I got something going (with esp-hal from main branch). However, none of the examples seemed to work for me (due to various reasons).

I think it would be good to have a standalone example, which can be tested on a regular basis. And just forked/cloned to get started. And that feels pretty close to this repository.

Yeah, we're going through a bit of churn at the moment due to some atomic changes, we're making a clean break and moving solely to portable atomic, but this will cause some issues when running mixed versions of git and old releases. We hope to have a release from esp-hal and esp-wifi soon to sort this.

Has progress been made on this topic? I'd really like an official template with embassy support out of the box.

Hi! We are moving from cargo-generate to our own generation tool, see #168. So, feel free to take a look at esp-generate, which supports embassy, but we are aware of a bug when using embassy and wifi/ble.

The tool is new, so we appreciate any feedback if you end up ussing it!

Thank you, I'll take a look at it
