redlid __getc vs newlib _read

Is it possible in redlib to override stdio input primitive functions to use different file handles for different targets. I have seen examples of this using newlib.

The only example I seen for redlib is the __getc which doesnt have a file descriptor as input.

I want to be able to write stdio output to uart0 and stderr to uart1 I also want to read GPS from uart2 and read user input from uart0.

Is there something like newlib's_open _read _write in redlib which I could override? Is the redlib source available ?

What should that be? Are we talking about retargeting?

That's possible with NoHost and stdio :)

I understand how to change between the different library versions, my question was more how much of stdio is implemented in nohost ?
Can the __Sys_write and __sys_getc etc ... be overidden in nohost to provide custom io functionality without any of the debugging semihosting code being linked and executed ?

I have one more question, do I have to link the semihosting version for these functions to be called ((__sys_getc __sys_write)? I got it to work when using semihosting but not the other versions of redlib which I find peculiar?

Is that normal? Are the tops of stdio reentrant ?

[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]__sys_readc() [/SIZE][/FONT]reads a character from stdin.

[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]__sys_read() [/SIZE][/FONT]reads from the file that you pass it the handle for as the first parameter.

The spec for these functions is basically take straight from ARM's semihosting specification, as detailed:

Its the read part that I need, beeing able to read from multiple UARTS, I could roll my own functions but would prefer to use something builtin.

Thanks for the support /// Carl

If you look at the example code that the FAQ points at, you will see the __sys_write() takes a handle as its first parameter. IIRC stdout will be 1, stderr will be 2.

Thanks for the reply, I have read that page before, is it possible in newlib to override read as it is in newlib

[I]read[/I][I]Read from a file. Minimal implementation: [/I][I]int read(int file, char *ptr, int len) { return 0; }[/I]

By overriding this function I could read from different uarts by sending different file descriptor's.

Is there something similar in redlib?
