Not the parent, but I've been keeping my eye on https://github.com/Nemo157/embrio-rs

Not much doc at the github. Can you provide a quick overview?

Not much I can say other than “an executor designed specifically for embedded.” I don’t do embedded dev myself, so it’s more of a curiosity thing for me than something that I can give you a lengthy explanation of.

Embrio provides only a very limited executor. it can just drive only single Future. Which gets re-polled every time a certain system interrupt occurs. You can obviously have subtasks of that single task (e.g. via join! and friends), but you can't have other dynamic tasks.

jrobsonchase has implemented a more dynamic solution which uses custom allocators for futures: https://gitlab.com/polymer-kb/firmware/embedded-executor

I think there might also be other solutions out there. I remember the Drone OS project also doing something along that.
