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.
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 relevant crate's README.
Note
This project is still in the relatively early stages of development, and as such there should be no expectation of API stability. A significant number of peripherals currently have drivers implemented but have varying levels of functionality. For most basic tasks, this should be usable already, however some more advanced or uncommon features may not yet be implemented.
For information relating to the development of Rust applications on ESP devices, please first read The Rust on ESP Book.
For information about the HAL and how to use it in your own projects, please refer to the documentation on docs.rs for the relevant chip.

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/BLE/ESP-NOW support |
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 copying it in to the .git/hooks/ directory:
cp pre-commit .git/hooks/pre-commitWhen 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.
The Minimum Supported Rust Version is 1.67.0 for all packages.
RISC-V is officially supported by the official Rust compiler, however, it should be noted that targeting the Xtensa ISA currently requires the use of the esp-rs/rust compiler fork. Our recommend method of installation is espup.
When targetting the RISC-V architecture and using a stable Rust release, it is necessary to set RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1 in order to build successfully; this is not required when using a nightly release or when targeting Xtensa.
