Zephyr shell & log timestamp format

[nRF5xFanboy]

Hi All,

How do I get the raw timestamp in the shell out ?
I did try several log timestamp settings but no success.

Observer behavior:

*** Booting Zephyr OS build v3.0.99-ncs1-1 ***
[00:00:00.252,929] <inf> app_event_manager: e:module_state_event module:main state:READY

Expected beahaviour

*** Booting Zephyr OS build v3.0.99-ncs1-1 ***
[00008291] <inf> app_event_manager: e:module_state_event module:main state:READY

I wish for the raw timestamp in both log & shell responses.

CONFIG_LOG=y
CONFIG_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL=4

Hi

Did you try setting CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_FORMAT_TIMESTAMP=n ?

Best regards,

Einar

edit:

wait, I'm blind, you already set that.

Can you confirm that this flag is actually set by checking build/zephyr/.config?

Hi Einarh

I do confirm the flag is in proj.conf

I have three hardware platforms / build folders to check.

In two builds (I most often used for development) the flag is in absent build_x/zephyr/.config?

The third build was not create with ncs 2.0.2 so not wise to compare.

Hi

It doesn't matter that CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_FORMAT_TIMESTAMP=n is set in proj.conf if you cannot see it in the .config file.

The .config file is the result of your different configurations, so if CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_FORMAT_TIMESTAMP=n doesn't show up there, then another option is overwriting it.
