codewarrior 10.1 MCF52233 printf

[rlstraney]

I am using codewarrior 10.1 Targeting a MCF52233 on a demo board. 

When I create a bareboard project and have codewarrior create main.c there is a printf statement in the code.   I want the text in the printf to go out uart0 so that I can capture the string on hyperterminal connected to the board’s DB9.

What I have done:

I generated the project and chose “None” for Rapid application development..

I edited support_common.h and set ENABLE_UART_SUPPORT to a 1.

I edited main.c and added:

#include “uart_support.h”

and I added:

uart_init(TERMINAL_PORT, SYSTEM_CLOCK_KHZ, TERMINAL_BAUD);

Note that: TERMINAL_PORT and SYSTEM_CLOCK_KHZ and TERMINAL_BAUD are set in mcf52233_sysinit.h.

When I debug the code the printf is definitely executed however hyperterminal never receives the string.

FYI:  I set hyperterminal to

19200

8 data bits

no parity

1 stop bit

no flow control

I suspect this is probably something trivial to fix however I haven’t found the solution yet – any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Renee,

I guess u tried out with new project wizard with MCF52233 as ur board.

Instead of try selecting MCF52233DEMO board.

I hope it will help.

Thank you so much - that works.   I'd like to know what the difference is between selecting MCF52233 and MCF52233DEMO. 

I will do a comparison between the two directories and see if I can understand why the original didn't work.  

Thank you

Renee
