# Starting a new project

A recommendation when starting a RTIC project from scratch is to 
follow RTIC's [`defmt-app-template`].

If you are targeting ARMv6-M or ARMv8-M-base architecture, check out the section [Target Architecture](./internals/targets.md) for more information on hardware limitations to be aware of.

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

For inspiration, you may look at the [RTIC examples].
