CLEV663B examples - semi hosting bug

I have recently loaded the CLEV663B examples (RC663-Classic, RC663-Polling) into LPCXpresso v7.1.1 and am seeing a bug in the semi hosting (__write() / __sys_write() ).

BUG - if the address of the string being sent to __write() / __sys_write() is ODD, it prints the string starting at the next EVEN address.

These examples, are older, and do not use the built in printf, instead they buffer the strings into a circular buffer and then call __write() / __sys_write() to actually print the data to the semi-hosting console.

If you load the RC663-Classic example and run it, the hex output will be garbled and a number of the other print strings will be missing the first character.

As you say, these examples appeared to have been updated (back in April/May) - http://www.nxp.com/demoboard/CLEV663B.html#documentation

Please let us know if you continue to see problems with the new examples and I'll follow up with the appropriate division within NXP (I don't have access to an appropriate board, so can't test here in any sensible manner).

And if you can post a code snippet showing the semihosting problem you were seeing, that might be quite helpful in allowing us to investigate your original report. AFAIK it shouldn't matter what alignment the buffer is on for semihosting to work correctly.

It appears that the version I have is no longer available on the NXP Web site, it has been replaced with the latest V3.0 of NXP NFC Reader Library.  The project I'm using is from the file: CLEV663B_MIFARE_Classic_Project_234010.zip  Going to try the new examples next.

I'm using the LPCXpresso LPC1114 Rev A board with the RC663 Blueboard V3.0
I'm using the LPC-Link connection, I do have a RedProbe+ but didn't want to hack up the board to use the RedProbe
I'm running IDE 7.1.1 on OS X 10.9

I'm not familiar with this codebase - can you post a pointer?

Also what board and debug probe on you using, on which host OS and version?
