 ## Embedded Projects
 
 - [@eldruin] released a platform-agnostic [driver for the OPT300x][opt300x-driver] family of ambient light sensors and published a [blog post][opt300x-blog-post] with a picture of the device taking lux measurements.

 - [@andre-richter] added two new tutorials for the `Operating System development tutorials in Rust on the Raspberry Pi` series:
     - Tutorial 11: [Virtual Memory](https://github.com/rust-embedded/rust-raspi3-OS-tutorials/tree/master/11_virtual_memory)
     - Tutorial 12: [CPU Exceptions: Part 1](https://github.com/rust-embedded/rust-raspi3-OS-tutorials/tree/master/12_cpu_exceptions_part1)
+    
+- [@jamesmunns] released two embedded crates:
+    - [`panic-persist`]: A panic handler crate inspired by `panic-ramdump` that logs panic messages to a region of RAM defined by the user, allowing for discovery of panic messages post-mortem using normal program control flow.
+    - [`cmim`], or Cortex-M Interrupt Move: A crate for Cortex-M devices to move data to interrupt context, without needing a critical section to access the data within an interrupt, and to remove the need for the "mutex dance"
 
 - [@tarcieri] released [`aead`] v0.2, providing generic traits for Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) ciphers, which now supports [ergonomic `alloc`-free operation][aead-heapless] via an integration with the [`heapless`] crate. This trait is now implemented by [several crates providing pure Rust implementations of AEAD modes][aead-crates] which may be interesting to embedded users seeking to encrypt/data data in `heapless` buffers, including the [`chacha20poly1305`] and [`aes-siv`] crates (and forthcoming support in the [`aes-ccm`] crate).
