How can I temporarily switch output from UART to debugger console?

[theodortempelme]

I am using CW10.6 for Coldfire. Project is ok, output is to UART.

I just want to switch temporarily during development (when serial output happens to be not available).

I would like to switch back and forth with little change to my project. Is that possible?

Thanks for your answer.

Hi.

What's your chip part number?

Have a great day,

It is a Coldfire 52259. I had hoped that I could independantly of the used device switch to console output (and back to UART output - and input of course, by the way, but I don't need that at the moment). So I thought it was a CodeWarrior thing, not a Coldfire thing.

Hi Theodor,

When a new project is created in CodeWarrior with full board support it will have the option to enable the console I/O or UART functionality, the console support can be enabled by changing the CONSOLE_IO_SUPPORT macro to 1 in the exceptions.c file:

Hope it helps!
