this is a random passing-by review, i don't have a stake in this but saw it and was positively surprised by it!

one thing i'm wondering: it seems that a lot of HAL activity is now centered around embassy (with the exception of e.g. esp-hal). i'm wondering if this should be explicitly pointed out so that vendors could opt to implement their PACs & HALs directly in embassy rather than having them separate? OTOH embassy is not a WG project, thus this might be the wrong place for this?

vendors could opt to implement their PACs & HALs directly in embassy rather than having them separate?

This is not required by embassy, and vendors typically prefer to keep their codebases in their own org/repo so they can control access to them, there's no doubts about ownership, etc.

Also: maybe ask dirbaio before you start suggesting that everyone shove their code in his project's repo?

sorry, this wasn't meant as a "hey, everyone should be doing this!" and more as a "is it the idea that this could/should be done?". sorry if that didn't come across like that

This looks great to me, thanks for updating.

Sorry to have lost track — where are we with this? The commits are marked "outdated" but I don't know what that means: Github is hard.

I'd be happy to review and merge it if this is the time.

The commits are marked "outdated" but I don't know what that means: Github is hard.

@BartMassey: the comments are marked outdated because @mbrossard pushed a new commit on top, i.e. the comments are no longer attached to the newest commit. the PR itself is still marked as draft - @mbrossard: if you believe that the PR is ready for review could you please mark it as such?

[BartMassey]

@rursprung Ah, thanks. I'm used to folks force-pushing amended updates to PRs, which I don't believe does this?

it does the same (source: i very regularly force-push amended commits to open PRs)

[BartMassey]

Thanks!

This looks really great to me. Thanks for persisting in the process; I know it's been a bit rough.

Highly appreciated.

minor nits just from glancing over the changes. an in-depth review needs to come from someone involved in the WG and/or the process (i never had to build a PAC or HAL)
