+Some HAL crates require that you manually copy over a file called `memory.x` from the HAL to the root of your project. For nrf52840-hal, this is done automatically so no action is needed. For other HAL crates, you can get it from your local Cargo folder, the default location is under:
+
+```
+~/.cargo/registry/src/
+```
+
+Not all HALs provide a memory.x file, you may need to write it yourself. Check the documentation for the HAL you are using.

 You are now all set to `cargo-run` your first `defmt`-powered application!
 There are some examples in the `src/bin` directory.
