Rust in embedded systems: feedback on the development of a charging station for electric vehicles
With the aim of reducing development costs and cyber risks, two years ago we decided to switch from C/C++ to Rust for the application layers.
This presentation provides feedback on the use of Rust for the development of an electric vehicle charging station, carried out in collaboration with an automotive equipment manufacturer. The system is deployed on an embedded Linux platform that implements an application framework optimised for security.
We will outline the specifics of using Rust in this context, the advantages it offers, and the challenges we encountered during development and integration, such as interfacing with asynchronous C libraries and the lack of mature, certified Rust cryptographic libraries.
We will open the discussion on a review of the Rust community's current efforts to address these challenges.
