Rust is industry ready with Ferrocene.
Ferrocene enables Rust to be a first-class language for mission-critical- and functional-safety systems at the highest security levels.
-
Automotive development
-
Ferrocene is qualified at ISO 26262 for automotive electronic systems for road vehicles. It’s qualified at ASIL-D, the highest risk class, for peace of mind.
-
Industrial manufacturing
-
Rust can be used for industrial manufacturing and the functional safety of electronic programmable safety-related systems. Ferrocene is qualified with IEC 61508 (SIL 4).
-
And more coming soon…
-
We’re working with partners to qualify Ferrocene for other industries as well. If you have a specific qualification or platform you want to use with Rust, we can help you with that.

Features
Why Ferrocene
Ferrocene is ready-to-use Rust for embedded systems.
-
Safer and more efficient than C/C++
- Rust is built for speed with type- and memory-safe programming to prevent errors and designed to handle parallel programming. Certification now enables automotive and industrial developers take advantage of that.
-
Rust is critical-systems ready
- TÜV SÜD conducted the audit and Ferrous Systems – leading Rust experts – supports the signed installers as well as the nightly builds. The result is Ferrocene – a quality-managed Rust compiler – qualified to ASIL D and SiL 4 levels.
-
Ferrocene is downstream from Rust
- It works with existing Rust infrastructure and the only changes made in the code were to cover testing requirements of ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 qualification. All fixes are reported upstream for constant improvement.
-
Rust plays well with other languages
- Rust has a high level of interoperability with existing languages including C, C++, Python, Ruby and Java, allowing developers to take advantage of Rust’s features without having to completely overhaul existing code bases.
