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
• =f64, 64-bit floating point type
• =[u8; N], byte array
• =[u8], byte slice
• =str, string slice
