Ferrocene, the Rust compiler toolchain, is now qualified for safety- and mission-critical environments according to ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 standards. This certification allows for the use of Ferrocene in developing software for road vehicles and electronic systems in the automotive and industrial sectors. It is the first qualification of a Rust compiler and demonstrates that Rust software can be used in all critical environments. The process was challenging but cost-effective, enabling the building of correct software. Ferrocene is now available for purchase, with a minimum order of 10 licenses for 12 months starting at €2,400. Individual purchase options will be available in 2024.
