Retargeting stdio to USART1

Hello,

I have USART1 configured properly and running. I am using the following code to write to the USART1 [code] USART_SendData(USART1,'A'); /* Loop until the end of transmission */ while (USART_GetFlagStatus(USART1, USART_FLAG_TC) == RESET); [/code] The above code is working. The problem is coming when I am trying to retarget the output of printf() to USART1 Following is the code to overide the fputc() function [code] /**   * @brief  Retargets the C library printf function to the USART.   * @param  None   * @retval None   */ int fputc(int ch, FILE *f) {       /* Place your implementation of fputc here */       /* e.g. write a character to the USART */       USART_SendData(USART1,(uint8_t)ch);     /* Loop until the end of transmission */       while (USART_GetFlagStatus(USART1, USART_FLAG_TC) == RESET);       return ch; } [/code] But when ever I am trying to use printf() the USART start sending NULL's repeatedly. Tool Chain: RV Compiler on Keil RVMDK (demo) Any help is appreciated!

Hello,

have you tried with fprintf()?

I don't use Keil but I suspect it is putchar (or putc or similar) that you override not fputc.

Using this?

#pragma import(__use_no_semihosting_swi) Probably want to implement _ttywrch() too. The smarter approach to outputting would probably be to check that the TX buffer is empty first, rather than that the transmission is complete afterward, which is guaranteed to waste the maximal amount of time. Try looking at the example retargeting code in the Keil directory \Keil\ARM\Boards\Keil\MCBSTM32\Blinky (or one of the others) For any of this to work, you must ensure the clocks and serial ports are initialized very early on, and at least before you use printf(), puts(), putchar(), etc. If you change the system clocks, you'll have to revisit the baud rate settings afterward. Having the wrong rates can result in odd characters appearing on the terminal.

Hello,

I am using the following startup filestartup_stm32f10x_hd.s It calls the SystemInit() function (which is in system_stm32f10x.c file) The above function sets up the PLL, System Clock, APB1 and APB2 clocks (all to maximum) So my clock is correctly configured. Also I have set up USART1 before calling printf() My USART1 is correctly configured as the following code to write to USART1 is working while(1)     {         USART_SendData(USART1,'A');         //Loop until the end of transmission           while (USART_GetFlagStatus(USART1, USART_FLAG_TC) == RESET);         Delay();         USART_SendData(USART1,'B');         //Loop until the end of transmission           while (USART_GetFlagStatus(USART1, USART_FLAG_TC) == RESET);         Delay();     }

Hello,

I got the problem solved just by linking against the

http://www.keil.com/arm/microlib.asp

instead of the standard C library. I just went to Project Options then in the Target Tab under ''Code Generation'' I selected ''Use MicroLIB''

Hello guys, I have the same problem I tried all options described before but no way. My example works great with simple USART_SendData(USART1, 0x49); // Send 'I' but when I want to redirect printf it doesn't works. If somebody could help me, I 'll become crazy!

Thanks a lotmy example:int putcharx(int ch){  while (USART_GetFlagStatus(USART1, USART_FLAG_TXE) == RESET);  USART_SendData(USART1, (uint8_t)ch);  return ch; } end the big while: while (1) { if (LEDOn) {      LEDOn = 0;      LED_On (num);                         /* Turn specified LED on          */    }    if (LEDOff) {      LEDOff = 0;      LED_Off (num);                        /* Turn specified LED off         */      num += dir;                           /* Change LED number              */            if (dir == 1 && num == max_num)  {        dir = -1;                           /* Change direction to down       */      ADC3_StartCnv();    val=ADC3_GetVal();   //while(USART_GetFlagStatus(USART1, USART_FLAG_TXE) == RESET); // Wait for Empty  //USART_SendData(USART1, 0x49); // Send 'I'     printf(''TOTO'');     test=test+0;    }      else if (num == 0) {        dir =  1;                           /* Change direction to up         */      }    }        }

Posted on January 29, 2013 at 16:11Thank you clive1, I am sure I have tested this solution before without success but putcharX was a mistake for sure now it works. I don't understand clearly why now but it works.Thanks a lot again

Hello,

Im trying to retarget the C library printf function to the USART using arm-none-eabi toolchain on Ubuntu. Where and how do I get <rt_misc.h> header?
