Efficient, deferred formatting for logging on embedded systems

defmt

defmt ("de format", short for "deferred formatting") is a highly efficient logging framework that targets resource-constrained devices, like microcontrollers.

For more details about the framework check the book at https://defmt.ferrous-systems.com.

The git version of the defmt book can be viewed at https://defmt-next.ferrous-systems.com/.

Setup

New project

The fastest way to get started with defmt is to use our app-template to set up a new Cortex-M embedded project.

Existing project

To include defmt in your existing project, follow our Application Setup guide.

MSRV

defmt always compiles on the latest stable rust release. This is enforced by our CI building and testing against this version.

It still might work on older rust versions, but this isn't ensured.

defmt ecosystem

The following diagram illustrates the user-facing and internal crates of the defmt framework.

Support

defmt is part of the Knurling project, Ferrous Systems' effort at improving tooling used to develop for embedded systems.
