RAM Console Snippet (ram-console)

west build -S ram-console [...]

Overview

This snippet redirects console output to a RAM buffer. The RAM console buffer is a global array located in RAM region by default, whose address is unknown before building. The RAM console driver also supports using a dedicated section for the RAM console buffer with prefined address.

How to enable RAM console buffer section

Add board dts overlay to this snippet to add property zephyr,ram-console in the chosen node and memory-region node with compatible string zephyr,memory-region as the following:

/ {
    chosen {
        zephyr,ram-console = &snippet_ram_console;
    };

   snippet_ram_console: memory@93d00000 {
        compatible = "zephyr,memory-region";
        reg = <0x93d00000 DT_SIZE_K(4)>;
        zephyr,memory-region = "RAM_CONSOLE";
   };
};
