Hi,

I am trying to write data to a text. The code is shown below. I am using STM32L152D board with Keil V5.

When I exceute the code, nothing works at all.

#include <stdio.h>

main()

{

FILE *fp;

fp = fopen('/tmp/test.txt', 'w+');

fprintf(fp, 'This is testing for fprintf...\n');

fputs('This is testing for fputs...\n', fp);

fclose(fp);

}

So, how can I write to a text file? and also reading.

Best regards.

Have you implemented a file system, or have a block storage device you might expect this data to go into?

The EVAL board use FATFS and SPI/SDIO implementations for SD cards. There you'd use f_open() rather than fopen(), etc.

The device is my PC not SD card.

I don't believe uVision provides the sort of Semi-Hosting you are expecting, you should discuss with Keil support.

Hi

Turvey.Clive

Could you please give an example or functions list that I can use for file I/O on SD card?

Regarding Keil, is this the functions list?

I'm not using the Keil Middleware, you'll need to review the documentation they provide.

I used FATFS
