uFerris Now Shipping!

The wait is over, uFerris boards are shipping worldwide!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined the early access program. Your support was instrumental to the success of this project.

Whether you're just getting started with embedded Rust or diving deep into bare-metal development, uFerris offers a complete learning platform with pre-wired peripherals. No breadboard, no component hunting, no setup headaches.

What's Available

• ⁠uFerris Megalops Baseboard: GPIO, Timers, ADCs, PWM, and Serial comms, all pre-wired and ready to go. Designed for the SeeedStudio XIAO family of controllers.

• ⁠uFerris Megalops Power Extension Board: adds battery power, current measurement, and SD card support for portable and advanced projects.

• ⁠Learning Bundles: You can pair either board set with the Simplified Embedded Rust book (Core or Standard Library edition) and save 20%.

Every peripheral on the board maps to a chapter in the Simplified Embedded Rust books. Plug in, follow along, build real projects. The project chapter maps completely to the board as well.

Help us Spread the Word! 

If you're excited about uFerris, share it with your network. Post about it on LinkedIn, X, or Bluesky. Tag us so we can see it! Every share helps other Rustaceans discover embedded Rust!
