Dictionary-based logging
Overview
This is a sample app which utilizes dictionary-based logging and the UART backend. This is configured to output binary log data in hexadecimal so it could be run in terminal.
There is also a configuration which shows how shell commands can be used to configure runtime
filtering of the logging messages for the frontend (in the same way as it is done for backends).
See log frontend set of commands and use log_rt_demo command to test the filtering.
Configuration with shell requires that board has two UART devices (one for the shell and one for the UART dictionary based frontend).
Building and Running
This application can be built and executed on QEMU as follows:
west build -b qemu_x86 samples/subsys/logging/dictionary
west build -t run
To build for another board, change “qemu_x86” above to that board’s name.
