Update: Oops! confused it with Azure Sphere: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-sphere/

IoT Edge came out of a program in MS research where they determined that for an IoT device to be truly secure, it has to have a bunch of attributes, including layers of security from hardware to OS, automatic and cryptographically signed updates, etc.

And then they set out to build it (and it runs a stripped down Linux kernel). I think it’s awesome but have no idea how much it’s supposed to cost. The dev board is $85.

This looks to be some of the low level code for it.

I find it very exciting from what I’ve read.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Its Microsoft! And they wrote a platform in Rust!

And only one of the components at that, the rest of the code is in C#.

that one component seem to be 32.8 percent of the code anyway, this seem like a none trivial part of this project

Here’s more about the project: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/janakiramm... The Edge security daemon is the portion that is written in Rust.
