Help¶

Use a custom logging protocol over the console UART instead of plain-text output. Requires a special application on the host side that can decode this protocol. Currently the ‘btmon’ tool from BlueZ is capable of doing this.

If the target board has two or more external UARTs it is possible to keep using UART_CONSOLE together with this option, however if there is only a single external UART then UART_CONSOLE needs to be disabled (in which case printk/printf will get encoded into the monitor protocol).
