debug: tracing: Add Segger RTT linker section options #53569

giansta · 2023-01-06T20:17:32Z

Allows optionally placing Segger RTT data either in a specific
linker section that is located at RAM start, or in a specific linker
section defined by a memory region in DTS, as third and fourth
alternative to the DTCM section or the default data section.
This is useful to share the fixed address for different programs,
typically bootloader and application, and have seamless logging.

fixes #53544

Expected to fix #53544 with zephyrproject-rtos/segger#17 in Segger repo

microbuilder · 2023-01-10T08:07:16Z

@nordic-krch Seems OK to me, but mind having a look since you maintain the Segger integration?

If you mean that the approval depends on the approval of the segger PR, I totally agree :-)

Can you also update west so that it points to the changes in segger repo?

don't we want default y? If bootloader is not used then it has no difference and when bootload is used then probably most users would like to get logs from bootloader and application.

Agree, done.

Maybe we could depend on the fact that we use Cortex-M here (since it's not supported by linker scripts of other architectures)?

I've added a if CPU_CORTEX_M, thanks.

@giansta needs rebase

nordicjm · 2024-04-25T07:55:30Z

@ioannisg @bbolen @microbuilder @povergoing @nordic-krch @MarekPieta since this is a very old PR and gets merge conflicts can you review and approve if you find it acceptable so that the module update can be merged and this is able to be merged without encountering another merge conflict?

Allows RTT inizialization function to either init Cntrol Block always or initialize only after checking it it's not already initialized by another program, typically by a bootloader. Signed-off-by: Giancarlo Stasi <[email protected]>

@nordic-krch would be good to try to get this and the associated Segger PR in for 3.7?

Definite improvement

cfriedt · 2024-07-26T00:12:48Z

Was able to verify this working with a custom stm32 board, tests/boot/test_mcuboot

Also needed the wrapper here, which would also be a good reason to build something like this into west.

There is a PR for that.
#75508

carlescufi · 2024-08-12T08:15:14Z

@giansta thanks so much for your patience.

giansta · 2024-08-12T10:16:52Z

Thanks @carlescufi! Anyway, this PR requires even zephyrproject-rtos/segger#17
I would expect it to be merged too.

Edit: added issue #77058

kartben · 2024-08-14T08:56:49Z

@gchwier I think it might be because zephyrproject-rtos/segger#17 still hasn't been merged? cc @carlescufi

gchwier · 2024-08-14T10:26:25Z

@kartben I've used that PR and looks that it does not help, still the same issue.

Kconfig options for RTT control block initialization and linker section were added in zephyrproject-rtos#53569, however the Zephyr west.yml was not updated to incorporate the Segger repository changes to make use of the new Kconfig options. This fixes that. Signed-off-by: Bryce Wilkins <[email protected]>

brycewilkins · 2024-11-15T09:06:40Z

@giansta I hope you don't mind me trying to help (#81425) get your Segger repo PR merged! I've encountered the problems here also and would love to see this resolved. Great work!
