It appears that XiangJun Rong misunderstood my situation. My concern was the console software routines that seemed to be always included in a project.
What I have found is that when you start a new project, after selecting the processor, in the next window at the upper right is the option to select either the "Semihost" or "UART" for the SDK Debug Console. When I started a new project and selected "Semihost", I got what I needed.
In going through the "SDK Management" selections, I couldn't find where this could be changed. So, it is important to make this selection at the very beginning.
