Logging issue on nRF_Connect 1.6.0 (Zephyr OS build v2.6.0-rc1-ncs1) - Unable to view the log's timestamp

[Rafalino]

Hello,

I have upgraded my project from nRF_Connect 1.5.1 to nRF_Connect 1.6.0.

It runs on nRF9160 and I use RTT viewer v7.50a.

The problem that I see is that the logs now don't contain the log time stamp.

It looks like this on nRF_Connect 1.6.0,  Zephyr OS build v2.6.0-rc1-ncs1 (no timestamp):

00> I: Network registration status: REGISTERED_HOME
00> I: LTE is now Connected

 

It used to look like this on nRF_Connect 1.5.1  Zephyr OS build v2.4.99-ncs2 (with timestamp):

00> [00:00:06.982,177] <inf> lte_app: Network registration status: REGISTERED_HOME
00> [00:00:06.982,208] <inf> lte_app: LTE is now Connected

Any suggestions on how to make it work on  nRF_Connect 1.6.0 ?

Thank you in advance ,

Hello Rafalino, 

Please note that our technical support staff is currently understaffed due to summer vacation, and a delayed answer must be expected.

Are you able to reproduce this in one of our standard samples? E.g. nRF9160 AT Client?

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hello Øyvind,

I have tried  the https_client nRF9160 example of  nRF_Connect 1.6.0 and it also had the issue of no timestamp at the log.

Any other suggestions ?

Rafalino, did you add RTT yourself to the sample? If so, what did you add? If not, what board are you building for? The setting may be added through board config.

Hello Øyvind, 

These are the settings that I have on prj.conf : 

CONFIG_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL=3
CONFIG_LOG_MODE_DEFERRED=y
CONFIG_LOG_MODE_MINIMAL=n
CONFIG_LOG_STRDUP_BUF_COUNT=14
CONFIG_LOG_STRDUP_MAX_STRING=1024

# Segger RTT
CONFIG_USE_SEGGER_RTT=y
CONFIG_RTT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_RTT=y
CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_FORMAT_TIMESTAMP=y
CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE=n
CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_UART=n

Is there a chance something is wrong with Zephyr OS build v2.6.0-rc1-ncs1  ?

I saw the following : zephyr-v2.6.0 and it does say : Logging subsystem overhauled

Could that be the case ?

That is a good question. I was able to confirm missing timestamps in NCS 1.6.0. Have forwarded and awaiting feedback from our NCS team.
