nRF54L15 and RTT

[Igor]

nRF54L15, Zephyr +MCUboot.
I am unable to redirect LOG_INF() output to RTT.

prj.conf

CONFIG_USE_SEGGER_RTT=y
CONFIG_RTT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE=n

Can you tell me what is wrong? How to force logger to output to RTT?

[Vidar Berg]

Hello,

Do you have CONFIG_LOG and CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_RTT enabled as well? Also, did you have RTT logging working before including MCUBoot? 

Best regards,

Vidar

The following settings do not compile

CONFIG_LOG=y
CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_RTT=y
CONFIG_LOG_BUFFER_SIZE=8192
CONFIG_USE_SEGGER_RTT=y
CONFIG_RTT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE=n

Error is:

The following settings work with logging to COM port:

CONFIG_LOG=y
CONFIG_LOG_BUFFER_SIZE=8192

I did not try without MCUboot. 

Any idea how to fix RTT logging?

Note:
NCS 3.0.2, LOG_xxx().
printk() is not used.

[Vidar Berg]

From the warning message I can see it's failing because CONFIG_USERSPACE or CONFIG_LOG_MODE_MINIMAL is enabled in your configuration. For logging, the default is  CONFIG_LOG_MODE_DEFERRED, but note that CONFIG_NCS_SAMPLES_DEFAULTS will select log mode minimal if you have this enabled in your project configuration.

[Igor]

It turns out that CONFIG_USERSPACE=y was the offending line. Is there any way to use RTT in combination with CONFIG_USERSPACE or not?

[Vidar Berg]

I see. This requirement looks to have been removed in SDK v3.1.0 by the following commits:

- https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-zephyr/commit/13054293adb045d51762a8dd5b60612dd60e475c 

- https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-zephyr/commit/77925656ab8

Works on NCS 3.2.0
