  • [ABANDONED] How to make a print out ?!

    Hello all,

    you will probably laugh at this question, but I wish I could get the print out working. Please have a look at code :


    C Source Code: printout

    1. #include "eta_bsp.h"
    4. #include "string.h"
    5. #include "stdlib.h"
    7. #include "eta_utils_terminal.h"
    8. #include "eta_utils_stdio.h"
    10. /***************************************************************************//**
    11. *
    12. * main - the main entry point.
    13. *
    14. ******************************************************************************/
    15. int
    16. main(void)
    17. {
    20. uint16_t k = 0;
    24. //
    25. // Loop forever.
    26. //
    27. while(1)
    28. {
    29. k++;
    30. if(k > 1000){
    31. printf("above", k);
    32. k = 0;
    33. }else if(k < 1000){
    34. printf("below", k);
    35. k = 0;
    36. }
    38. }
    39. }

    Any ideas?

    BEST.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    Where do you expect the print out to happen?
    What I/O interface do you use for that?
    If you are using the default that Embedded Studio sets up it will be SEGGER RTT:
    segger.com/products/debug-prob…about-real-time-transfer/
    So you would see the output in the debug terminal of Embedded Studio.

    Other available I/O types and how ES has to be set up for them is explained here:

    Best regards,

  • Thanks for the reply. I was hopping to get the output in the "debug terminal", however, nothing at the moment.

    I am using the jLink mini EDU and its probes can be used as an I/o interface. Indeed, will have a look at the given links.

    To be honest, I did not know I have to additionally setup the print-output, but it is now logical :) therefore, thank you again!

  • Hello,

    For clarification, J-Link is the debug probe and just one possibility for the I/O interface.
    The I/O interface can be anything that your target device supports (UART, Ethernet, USB, Debug Interface, SWO, etc. etc.).
    If you are using the default configuration of Embedded Studio RTT is the I/O interface, which uses the debug interface and J-Link forwards the collected data to the host terminal.

    Best regards,
    Nino

  • Hello Nino,

    I had a look at several things, it seems, I have to "somehow" add the Segger files (see the attached image) to the project.
    For example, when the header "#include "SEGGER_RTT.h" is given does not want to compile. Tried to add those files manually, but it seems this is not the right way :/

    I guess this is the way to go, however, I just want to use the 'printf()' function and print out in the EmbeddedStudio and its 'Output' in 'Debug terminal' . This does not work with the project "Hello World" that I have opened from the dev board supplier, however, the application works OK, indeed, I cannot add the printf() to the code, e.g. and see the print out... Interestingly, the simple and other "hello world" is ran I can see the print out in the 'Debug terminal' ... Wondering what I am doing wrong?

    OK, this problem has been partially solved with adding the "path" to the project, indeed, this time I can compile and run the project, but still no output either in Debug terminal or via the J-Link RTT viewer, apropos I hope that I am "connected properly" , for example, while the project is ran in the emStudio, the JLink Viewer is separately opened, I guess this is the right way to do it? Please have a look at the attached picture... It looks the connection works, however, how to see the printouts? I am trying to print out either via the printf() or the Segger RTT functions...

    Although, I can compile the project with the

    Source Code

    1. #include "SEGGER_RTT.h"

    I cannot run the following function :


    Source Code

    1. SEGGER_RTT_WriteString(0, "Hello World from SEGGER!\r\n");
    Thank you in advance for any ideas, comments!

    BEST.

  • There we go!

    OK, I have opened a new project for the chip under consideration and started with the simple print out code and its works, yeah!!!

    Both either the RRT Viewer or printf() in debug terminal. So, I guess the next step is to code some of the chip features and start from zero. I was hopping to add the print function to the dev board "Hello world"...

    Anyway, still wondering, what am I doing wrong in previous Hello worlds... However, it seems it is now working every-time work with it :) I guess it is possible that I have restarted the program, etc.

    BEST.
