Getting printf on STM32F407 Discovery board

Hi i am new to embedded system programming and stumbled upon this basic problem of re-directing output to the ITM Port0. I read multiple posts on the same but sadly I cant get it to work. I shall try to be as descriptive as possible. I am following the lab mentioned here http://www.keil.com/appnotes/files/apnt_230.pdf Page 15 Section 19. 

Board : STM32F407 Discovery board

Keil 5.15 MDK 

/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 * CMSIS-RTOS 'main' function template

 *---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

&sharpdefine osObjectsPublic                     // define objects in main module

&sharpinclude ''osObjects.h''                      // RTOS object definitions

&sharpdefine ITM_Port8(n) (*((volatile unsigned char *)(0xE0000000+4*n)))

/*

 * main: initialize and start the system

 */

int main (void) {

int value = 1;

  osKernelInitialize ();                    // initialize CMSIS-RTOS

  // initialize peripherals here

  // create 'thread' functions that start executing,

  // example: tid_name = osThreadCreate (osThread(name), NULL);

ITM_Port8(0) = value ;

while(ITM_Port8(0) == 0);

ITM_Port8(0) = 0x0D;

while(ITM_Port8(0) == 0);

ITM_Port8(0) = 0x0A;

osKernelStart ();                         // start thread execution 

}

 I know the settings for the core clock speed are important so i set it correctly to 168MHz . Here is the snapshot to be sure. http://imgur.com/jSiUY2a,bqdc5c9&sharp1

What am i missing here ? Seems my debug view gets nothing . Any help for me ?

I'd probably check the 'Port 0..7' option, and use the ITM_SendChar() function.Posted some non RTX examples of using the SWV and Keil to the forum.

 Might want to update the ST-LINK firmware, looks rather dated.
