sprintf with KDS 3.2.0

Dear all,

I get the following linker error (Cross ARM C++ Linker)  : undefined reference to `_sbrk'

when I try to compile some code like this:

 

char mystring[10];

int mynumber=5;

 

sprintf(mystring,"%d",mynumber);

 

however, if I just format the sprintf without addional parameters, like this:

sprintf(mystring,"This is mystring");

 

it works! Could you please give me any hint?

 

Thank you very much in advance.

BR!

 

P.D. I use KE06Z microcontroller.

Hi Alvaro,

that depends on

a) Kinetis SDK used or not

b) which library you are using

c) if you are using semihosting or not

sbrk() is a library routine used for dynamic memory allocation.

I hope this helps,

Hi Erich,

Thank you very much for your fast answer!

I started my project with one of your templates for my microcontroller, the one in this link:

mcuoneclipse/Examples/KDS/FRDM-KE06Z/FRDM-KE06Z at master · ErichStyger/mcuoneclipse · GitHub 

So that I have tried to recompile the original projects (directly yours) by adding only the following:

#include <stdio.h>

char test[100];

sprintf(test,"number=%d",5);

to the main function and it crashes with the same error:

The most strange thing to me is that if I don't format the content of sprintf, it links correctly and works! This means that testing the following code has no linker errors:

#include <stdio.h>

char test[100];

sprintf(test,"number=5");

Any idea? I am absolutely lost and don't know how to go on.

Thank you very much for your collaboration.

BR!

Hi Alvaro,

I tried both your code pieces in that project, and they work without any issues on my side.

So I don't know what is the problem on your end.

Maybe add the missing function as

void _sbrk(void){}

to your application to see what comes next.

Hi Erich,,

Your solution works! I just added void _sbrk(void){}.

Thank you very much for your collaboration!

BR!
