This repository is a set of demonstration projects of Embedded Swift. Embedded Swift is a compilation and language mode that enables development of baremetal, embedded and standalone software in Swift. To learn more, see:
- Blog post introducing this repository
- Swift forums thread about this repository
- Discussions about Embedded Swift on the Swift forums
- Embedded Swift Vision Document
- Documentation for Embedded Swift
Warning
Embedded Swift is experimental. Some information on this page might be out of date with latest development.
Important
Use the latest downloadable 'main' Development Snapshot from swift.org to use Embedded Swift. Public releases of Swift do not yet support Embedded Swift.
Note
This repository contains code that is not continuously developed, instead it's presented "as is" for educational and demonstrational purposes. Making major improvements to existing examples is discouraged, but additions of new examples is welcome.
| Name | Platform | SDK | Description | Photo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| stm32-blink | STM32F746G-DISCO | None | Blink an LED repeatedly. | |
| stm32-lcd-logo | STM32F746G-DISCO | None | Animate the Swift Logo on the built-in LCD. | |
| stm32-neopixel | STM32F746G-DISCO | None | Control NeoPixel LEDs using SPI. | |
| stm32-uart-echo | STM32F746G-DISCO | None | Echo user input using UART. | |
| pico-blink | Raspberry Pi Pico | None | Blink an LED repeatedly. | |
| pico-blink-sdk | Raspberry Pi Pico | Pico SDK | Blink an LED repeatedly with Swift & the Pico SDK. | |
| pico-w-blink-sdk | Raspberry Pi Pico W | Pico SDK | Blink an LED to signal 'SOS' in Morse code repeatedly with Swift & the Pico SDK. | |
| pico2-neopixel | Raspberry Pi Pico2 | None | Control Neopixel LEDs using the RP2350 PIO. |  |
| nrfx-blink-sdk | nRF52840-DK | Zephyr SDK | Blink an LED repeatedly with Swift & Zephyr. | |
| esp32-led-strip-sdk | ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 | ESP-IDF SDK | Control NeoPixel LEDs with Swift & the ESP-IDF. | |
| esp32-led-blink-sdk | ESP32-C6-Bug | ESP-IDF SDK | Blink an LED repeatedly with Swift & the ESP-IDF. |  |
Note that the SDK integration examples (Pico SDK, Zephyr SDK, etc.) are not recommendations or endorsement, the same is true for build system choice (Make, CMake, SwiftPM, shell scripts). Embedded Swift aims to be versatile and to allow for integration into more existing SDKs and build systems, and the example projects are merely showing the possibilities.
Warning
Community projects linked here are not officially supported by our team. They may not always be compatible with the latest nightly Swift toolchain builds.
