How to use DEBUGOUT?

Hi,

I have been reading what I can find about using printf() for debugging. I would like to have the output appear on one of the IDE consoles available. Later, I would also like to change printf() to use one of the UARTs instead of the console. probably not the default UART though.

I am experimenting with an unmodified copy of "freertos_blinkey" and am looking at the DEBUGOUT macro.

My "Launch Configuration Properties" show that semihosting is enabled. However I don't have a clue where to go from there.

I will keep reading in the mean time but perhaps someone has a simple solution?

Thanks

Stumbled into this...

In board.h: uncomment this line #define DEBUG_SEMIHOSTING

In the Quickstart panel: Quick Settings: Set library / header type to NewLib Semihost

the DEBUGOUT messages now appear in one of the consoles
( remember to click the "display selected console" icon to bring up the right console )
