Primitives

In addition to :? there are formatting parameters for several primitive types. These parameters follow the syntax :<type>, for example: :u8, :bool. This type information lets the framework further compress the logs resulting in higher throughput.

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
extern crate defmt;
let enabled = false;
let ready = false;
let timeout = false;
// arguments can be compressed into a single byte
defmt::info!(
    "enabled: {:bool}, ready: {:bool}, timeout: {:bool}",
    enabled, ready, timeout,
);

let x = 0u16;
// arguments will be type checked
defmt::trace!("{:u16}", x);
//                      ^ must have type `u16`
}

The available types are:

• :bool, boolean
• :{i,u}{8,16,32,64}, standard integer types
• :{i,u}24, 32-bit integer truncated to 24 bits
• :f32, 32-bit floating point type
• :[u8; N], byte array
• :[u8], byte slice
• :str, string slice
