how to use ADV_LOG

[HDU-rib]

About DM_LOG, DM_ERR, I define ENABLE_DEBUG_LOG_SUPPORT in Options for Target->C/C++->Define, the "string" will be sent over UART. But ADV_LOG still does not work，How should I configure and use it when debugging?

Hi,

The ADV_LOG macro in ble_advertising.c is empty. If you need the ADV_LOG, you should point it to app_trace_log.

Code snippet:

#include "app_trace.h"


#define ADV_LOG app_trace_log

Do I need to configure the serial port if I use ADV_LOG? PC-side serial port receiving tool baud rate and other parameters how to set?

[Sigurd]

If you are using the UART, then yes, you need a terminal program on the PC. E.g. Termite . In "Settings" in Termite you can set the correct Port, baudrate, etc

According to your meaning,there are other ways to show the contents of ADV_LOG?

[Sigurd]

Yes, you can also use Segger RTT. Here the log will be printed on the SWD pins. If you use Segger RTT you can use e.g. J-Link RTT Viewer on your PC to see the log.

Great, I found that using Segger RTT debugging much better than the serial port!
