Target side implementation of the RTT (Real-Time Transfer) I/O protocol
Documentation
//! Target side implementation of the RTT (Real-Time Transfer) I/O protocol
//!
//! RTT implements input and output to/from a debug probe using in-memory ring buffers and memory
//! polling. This enables debug logging from the microcontroller with minimal delays and no
//! blocking, making it usable even in real-time applications where e.g. semihosting delays cannot
//! be tolerated.
//!
//! # Hardware support
//!
//! This crate is platform agnostic and can be used on any chip that supports background memory
//! access via its debug interface. The printing macros require a critical section which is
//! platform-dependent. ARM Cortex-M has built-in support, which can be enabled with the "cortex-m"
//! feature flag.
//!
//! To interface with RTT from the host computer, a debug probe such as an ST-Link or J-Link is
//! required. The normal debug protocol (e.g. SWD) is used to access RTT, so no extra connections
//! such as SWO pins are needed.
//!
//! # Initialization
//!
//! RTT must be initialized at the start of your program using one of the init macros. See the
//! macros for more details.
//!
//! The initialization macros return channel objects that can be used for writing and reading.
//! Different channel objects can safely be used concurrently in different contexts without locking.
//! In an interrupt-based application with realtime constraints you could use a separate channel for
//! every interrupt context to allow for lock-free logging.
//!
//! # Channels and virtual terminals
//!
//! RTT supports multiple *channels* in both directions. Up channels go from target to host, and
//! down channels go from host to target. Each channel is identified by its direction and number.
//!
//! By convention channel 0 is reserved for terminal use. In the up direction there is a set of
//! escape sequences that further enable the single channel to be treated as up to 16 *virtual
//! terminals*. This can be used to separate different types of messages (for example, log levels)
//! from each other without having to allocate memory for multiple buffers. As a downside, multiple
//! threads cannot write to the same channel at once, even if using different virtual terminal
//! numbers, so access has to be synchronized. Down channel 0 is conventionally used for keyboard
//! input.
//!
//! **Note:** Some host side programs only display channel 0 by default, so to see the other
//! channels you might need to configure them appropriately.
//!
//! The other channels can be used to either enable concurrent use from multiple sources without
//! locking, or to send e.g. binary data in either direction.
//!
//! Channel 0 can also be used for arbitrary data, but most tools expect it to be plain text.
//!
//! # Channel modes
//!
//! By default, channels start in [`NoBlockSkip`](ChannelMode::NoBlockSkip) mode, which discards
//! data if the buffer is full. This enables RTT to not crash the application if there is no debug
//! probe attached or if the host is not reading the buffers. However if the application outputs
//! faster than the host can read (which is easy to do, because writing is very fast), messages will
//! be lost. Channels can be set to blocking mode if this is desirable, however in that case the
//! application will likely freeze when the buffer fills up if a debugger is not attached.
//!
//! The channel mode can also be changed on the fly by the debug probe. Therefore it may be
//! advantageous to use a non-blocking mode in your microcontroller code, and set a blocking mode as
//! needed when debugging. That way you will never end up with an application that freezes without a
//! debugger connected.
//!
//! # Printing
//!
//! For no-hassle output the [`rprint`] and [`rprintln`] macros are provided. They use a single down
//! channel defined at initialization time, and a critical section for synchronization, and they
//! therefore work exactly like the standard `println` style macros. They can be used from any
//! context. The [`rtt_init_print`] convenience macro initializes printing on channel 0.
//!
//! ```
//! use rtt_target::{rtt_init_print, rprintln};
//!
//! fn main() -> ! {
//!     rtt_init_print!();
//!     loop {
//!         rprintln!("Hello, world!");
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The macros also support an extended syntax to print to different RTT virtual terminals.
//!
//! Please note that because a critical section is used, printing into a blocking channel will cause
//! the application to block and freeze when the buffer is full.
