  # Tracing can have a non-zero size impact to binaries. We try to make

  # backends explicitly

  # Defines the trace backend. Current matter tracing splits the logic
  # into two parts:
  #   - data logging, well defined and using type-safe data
  #   - trace begin/end/instant states for monitoring execution and
  #     checking execution time and performance
  # For tracing specifically, due to performance constraints, several
  # backends prefer to be the one and only tracing provider (e.g.
  # pw_tracing uses tokenization to reduce string sizes and allow
  # for fast tracing even when the communication channels are slow).
  #
  # The setting below controls the destination of the tracing macros
  #
  # Notable built-in targets:
  #    "${chip_root}/src/tracing/none" disables the scopes macros
  #    "${chip_root}/src/tracing/multiplexed" sends begin/end/instant to backends
  #
  # since tracing is very noisy, we generally expect it to be explicitly
  # set up.
