SEGGER_RTT works but NRF_LOG not

[schef]

Hi, can you help me out please: I have followed devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ and have configured as it shows.

But NRF_LOG_INFO does not work however SEGGER_RTT_printf does. What should i do? Thanks

Which SDK version are you using? Have you set NRF_LOG_ENABLED and NRF_LOG_BACKEND_SERIAL_USES_RTT? Are you using NRF_LOG_DEFERRED? If you are, you need to call NRF_LOG_FLUSH() to process the log buffer.

I use SDK 12.2.0 with nrf52832. Thank you. The NRF_LOG_FLUSH() was missing.

I have a similar issue with SDK15.3.  I managed to get the NRF_LOG working on one project after reading all the forum posts but when I try on a virgin instance of ble_app_multilink_central using this knowledge, logging does not work.

 - I have compiled and run debug config

 - Project settings are debug level 3

 - NRF_LOG_ENABLED, NRF_LOG_BACKEND_RTT_ENABLED are enabled and NRF_LOG_DEFERRED disabled in sdk_config.h via CMSIS configurator.  NRF_LOG_BACKEND_UART_ENABLED also disabled

No log messages are printed at any level.  Printf works fine....

I just tested the ble_app_multilink_central example. UART logging works out of the box, setting NRF_LOG_BACKEND_RTT_ENABLED to 1 enables output in RTT viewer as well. Please try with a completely fresh copy of the entire SDK.

Thanks for the reply - I tried what you suggested and ran ble_app_multilink_central from a fresh copy of the SDK (nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345) and looking at the output via the Segger Studio after enabling NRF_LOG_BACKEND_RTT_ENABLED via CMSIS, saving, cleaning and rebuilding and I still see no output.  Are there any other checks I can do?  My other project still prints debug via RTT fine but I can't see what the difference is...
