use printf for mc51jm128

[MWMinor]

I want to use the printf function to send characters through the UART connections on PTE0_TXD1.

At the moment I cant use the printf() function to print a simple string to the console. So I think I must be doing something very wrong.

I am using Processor Expert and Codewarrior10.6

Can anyone help me please..?

Thanks

Ken

Hi Jenny

Thanks, I have seen them. It looks like they are set to drive the TXD1 & RXD1 channel. What changes do I need to me to use the TXD2 & RXD2 pins...?

Thanks for your support

Hi Ken,

in Embedded Systems and the microcontrolle world, you really should not use printf(): it is simply not a good thing, see https://mcuoneclipse.com/2013/04/19/why-i-dont-like-printf/ .

But it is really up to you if you know the consequences. If you insist using it, here are a few articles which should help you:
