As Anton mentioned there is a Yocto/OE layer meta-rust but it increases
maintenance burden and build time significantly. A couple of years ago I
integrated it for RVI SOTA Client (written in Rust) in GENIVI
Development Platform and Automotive Grade Linux. As far as I remember
the major complain of the rest of the developers was the increased time
for building from scratch because of llvm, rustc and cargo. Later on RVI
SOTA Client was replaced by Aktualizr which is written in C++. Here are
a couple of links for use cases in both distributions:
