+# imxrt-hal
 
-`imxrt1060-hal` is a Rust hardware abstraction layer that's specific to i.MX
-RT 1060 processors. This includes some of the following processor parts:
+This project provides a Rust HAL (hardware abstraction layer) for all NXP i.MX RT
+microcontrollers based on the imxrt-ral crate.
 
-- i.MX RT 1061
-- i.MX RT 1062
+A feature flag needs to be set for any of the supported i.MX RT SoC.
 
-It is the successor to `imxrt-hal`, version 0.4, with `feature = "imxrt1062"`.
+## What is it?
 
-## Features
+imxrt-hal is an experiment into a lightweight hardware abstraction layer. It
+provides access to some of the peripherals of the i.MX RT series processors
+from NXP using embedded-hal and other community driven hardware APIs.
 
-The table below describes the optional features supported by `imxrt1060-hal`.
+The main aims are fast compilation, compactness, and simplicity.
 
-| Feature  | Description                        |
-| -------- | ---------------------------------- |
-| `"rt"`   | Runtime support with `cortex-m-rt` |
-| `"rtic"` | Support for RTIC                   |
+Please consider trying it out and contributing or leaving feedback!
+
+## Goals
+
+* Simple to use and hard to use incorrectly
+* All peripherals and busses supported
+* Support the entire i.MX RT Series with a single crate to maximize code reuse
