```
All RTIC applications use the [`app`] attribute (`#[app(..)]`). This attribute
must be applied to a `mod`-item. The `app` attribute has
a mandatory `device` argument that takes a *path* as a value. This path must
point to a *peripheral access crate* (PAC) generated using [`svd2rust`]
**v0.14.x** or newer. The `app` attribute will expand into a suitable entry
point so it's not required to use the [`cortex_m_rt::entry`] attribute.

That example depends on the `panic-semihosting` crate:
The `init` example uses the `lm3s6965` device. Remember to adjust the `device`
argument in the app macro attribute to match the path of your PAC crate, if
different, and add peripherals or other arguments if needed. Although aliases
can be used, this needs to be a full path (from the crate root). For many
devices, it is common for the HAL implementation crate (aliased as `hal`) or
Board Support crate to re-export the PAC as `pac`, leading to a pattern similar
to the below:
```rust
use abcd123_hal as hal;
//...
#[rtic::app(device = crate::hal::pac, peripherals = true, monotonic = rtic::cyccnt::CYCCNT)]
mod app { /*...*/ }
```
The `init` example also depends on the `panic-semihosting` crate:
``` console
$ cargo add panic-semihosting
