Where does the embedded wg coordinate? I'm giving a talk tomorrow on a post mortem on porting rust to a new embedded target (the Nintendo 64).

Hey, member of the embedded wg here.

Originally, our first push was to get Cortex M bare metal microcontrollers as a "Tier 1" stable target for the 2018 edition of Rust.

Over the last couple months, we've been expanding, and have subteams for a bunch of different topics, including chip support, drivers, documentation, tooling, etc. We're mostly focused on helping other people who are getting started with embedded rust, as well as give feedback to the compiler teams, etc.

It would be interesting to hear more about your porting attempt, we also have a blog - https://rust-embedded.github.io/blog/ - if you'd like to share it as a blog post.

As Steve mentioned, https://github.com/rust-embedded/wg is our main coordination repo, and has links to most of the stuff we're actively working on.

I'm hoping the talk or more info on this is going to be available somewhere - that sounds really cool
