The biggest limitation for embedded Rust development tends to be "does LLVM support your CPU?" If not you may be able to hack something together but you're not going to have a great time. If so, there's still a broad range of experiences between "people are actively writing Rust for this board and there are tons of crates exposing the hardware with nice APIs" and "you can get Rust code running on this board". I'm not an embedded developer but I've dabbled enough in the space to believe that Rust is going to do very well there. The development experience is so bad for most existing cases and there aren't a lot of other viable options (unlike for folks writing desktop or server software).
