+Floating Point in Mynewt
+------------------------
+
+**Q**: I am trying to print floating point in Mynewt using ``console_printf("%f", floating_var)`` but I am unable to do so.
+How do I resolve the issue? I'm aware Mynewt uses baselibc - does it even support floating point?
+
+**A**: Baselibc does support floating point formatting, but it is not enabled
+by default. To enable it, set the following syscfg setting to 1 in your
+target: ``FLOAT_USER``
+
+However, baselibc's float printf support is a bit limited. In particular, it
+ignores precision specifiers and always prints three digits after the
+decimal point.
