Rust cortex-m-log using semihosting console (SYS_WRITEC)

example.rs

/// Semihosting target that writes using SYS_WRITEC
/// 
/// This differs from the more commonly used stdout (SYS_OPEN and then SYS_WRITE). Specifically,
/// QEMU only allows redirecting console outputs to arbitrary chardevs (like files),
/// while it always writes to stdout if the target uses it.

        }

        Ok(())
