# Starting a new project

A recommendation when starting a RTIC project from scratch on an ARMv7-M or ARMv8-M-main MCU is to 
follow RTIC's [`defmt-app-template`]. For ARMv6-M or ARMv8-M-base, check out Section 4.? of
this book for more information on hardware and implementation differences to be aware of before
starting with RTIC.

[`defmt-app-template`]: https://github.com/rtic-rs/defmt-app-template

This will give you an RTIC application with support for RTT logging with [`defmt`] and stack overflow
protection using [`flip-link`]. There are also a multitude of examples available provided by the community:

- [`rtic-examples`] - Multiple projects
