Hi,
I'm not sure the title is very correct.
I use latest CW 10.4 and MQX 4.0 with a K60F120M bsp configuration. I use the console printf for debug and redirected it to an UART (UART2 -> ttyc) and it works fine.
So I use printf in my code to help debug and develop. => OK
Now I reach the final steps, this UART should be used for something else so I want to completely disable the console output.
What should I do?
And what should I do with all the places I use printf now?
Thanks and best regards

I have always incorporated a simple Ethernet or telnet interface into my applications (of course I realize this doesn't help if you are not incorporating the Ethernet port). Telnet is still available as a command line interface in most operating systems... including Windows (although they are making it more and more difficult to locate).
Hi -stéphan-,
In file \mqx\source\bsp\<BOARD_NAME>\<BOARD_NAME>.h is defined BSP_DEFAULT_IO_CHANNEL. You can change it here,probably set to NULL.(also you can set this macros in user_config.h).
If you want change only app you can use function _io_set_handle() and change IO_STDOUT and IO_STDIN to NULL or other io driver. ! !
_io_set_handle(IO_STDOUT, NULL);
I hope this answer will help.

Hi Stephan,
Martin has best solution to disable the default io capability.
Another method would be to make modifications to the user_config.h (this is the highest level header file in the RTOS that can over ride default RTOS settings).
Simply setting all the selected BSPCFG_ENABLE(I)TTYx #defines to 0 will disable the RTOS from using a physical UART.
That doesn't resolve the printf's matter you have in your code base.
For that you can modify the PSP fio.h header and add a #define to the user_config.h to switch on and off the printf capability:
fio.h modifications:
user_config.h modification:
As always, please re-compile the RTOS when making modifications to user_config.h.
