OS_SendString using

Hi,
Segger proposes to use OS_SendString for Tx uart communication by application, it's good but not enough. What about sending buffer instead of null-terminated string. Any solution ?

Thx

Hello,

we propose to use OS_SendString when you use profiling and want to send a string to embOSView terminal.
If you want to send any application data I guess you don't want to use embOSView on PC side.
In this case you have to write you uart routines by yourself, but you can use of course our uart functions as a template.

Kind regards,
Til

Does it mean that I can use only embView terminal for UART sharing and not for my application, which connected through UART as well ?
Thx

No, that means that you can use the uart on two ways:
1. You use OS_SendString with our uart routines and on PC side you have to use embOSView.
2. Or you write your own uart routines and you can use on PC side whatever you like

embOS uses for profiling a simple protocol, so when you send "Hello World" via OS_SendString() embOS will also send some protocol bytes.
