Rtt-target library error

Embedded
1

I am trying to use the example code in probe-rs for cargo-embed but i am getting an error for the same with rtt-target while building

`#![no_main]
#![no_std]

use panic_halt as _;

use cortex_m_rt::entry;
use cortex_m_semihosting::{debug, hprintln};
use MXP1064 as _;
use rtt_target::{rprintln, rtt_init_print};

#[cortex_m_rt::entry]
fn main() -> ! {
rtt_init_print!();
loop {
rprintln!("Hello, world!");
}
}`

the error:

you need to implement the critical section primitives. this is usually provided by the architectural support crate.

for example, for the rp2040 SoC, the rp2040-hal crate provides a multi-core safe critical section implementation, behind the critical-section-impl feature flag. however, for common single core cortex-m based chips, or if only a single core of the rp2040 is used, the implementation provided by the cortex-m crate for single-core Cortex-M microcontrollers via its critical-section-single-core feature is good for most uses.

I don't know what chip you are using, but since you are using cortex-m-rt, I think you just need to enable the critical-section-single-core feature of cortex-m. unless of course, your chip has multiple cores and your application is parallel , in which case you should check the hal crate, or maybe provide a custom implementation if needed. check the documentation of critical-section for details.

you can use the cargo add command to enable the required feature flag:

$ cargo add cortex-m --features critical-section-single-core

Apologies for not providing all the info ,Its a single core M7F chip (IMXRT1064) by NXP , I also have made the custom crate called MXP1064 using svd2rust for the board, I have also added the feature for critical-section-single-core in my Cargo.toml for my cortex-m and performed cargo clean to start afresh but this does not seem to solve the problem

that makes no sense to me. only reason I can think of is, maybe cortex-m wasn't linked at all?

try to force the linker to link against the cortex-m crate by declaring an extern crate, add this line to your code:

extern crate cortex_m;

if this is the cause, it is really an unusual scenario, for one thing, this is a minimal "hello world" example that didn't import cortex-m directly, and also you didn't use a hal crate, which has cortex-m as its dependency.

Sure ,I will look into this and update on this thread for the same, thanks for the help
