Not properly flushing printf() statements in code composer

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

I don't think, there shouldn't be any issue with code generation compiler tools which is a part of CCS installation and there shouldn't be any chance of compiler tools malfunctioning. I mean, you don't have to suspect printf statements not properly flushing which is part of TI CGT compiler job and comes as part of  CCS installation.

If you still think, doing some kind of compiler malfunction by code composer studio, may be, you could try uninstall and reinstall CCS and check whether the same issue repeats which would sort out compiler issue, if any.

Thanks & regards,

Sivaraj K

Dear Rumman,

In my opinion, you might have not used linker command file for your projet or .cio section may not be declared and used which is used to print the lines in CCS console.

What is your board ?

I've tested it on C6748 LCDK board and got all the prints which are used in hello.c

File used:
hello.c

#include <stdio.h>

/*
* hello.c
*/
int main(void) {
printf("Hello World!\n");

printf("Value1: ");
printf("\nValue2: ");
printf("\nValue3: " );
printf("\nValue4: ");
printf("\nsomething");

return 0;
}

Linker command file used:
linker.cmd

-stack 0x1000
-heap 0x1000
