This project does not show if it is possible to use printf using MQX Standard AND from main.c......it shows how to print from a task once MQX has started.
I have sinced moved our main.c printf statements to the first task that is executed and used it as a bootup task and for initialization of our application.
My printfs were working from main.c using MQX Lite....but stopped after moving to MQX Standard.
