View LOG_printf in CCS6

Linda DeBrunner

Can someone please guide me how to view my Log_printfs on CCS v6? I am trying to get a Hello, World program running that uses LOG_printf (&trace, "hello world!"); from example code. Where do I view the output? I am using an eZDSP 5515 board.

For v6, you can use the ROV (under 'Tools -> RTOS Object View (ROV)' )

Thanks

Hi Ki,

Thanks very much. Apparently, my problem is that there is nothing in the trace. Do I need to do something to enable logging or to turn it on? I'm attaching a pic of my screen. Thanks for any more help you can provide.

In your picture, I see that you are still at the beginning of main(). You did not yet execute the log_printf function. I'm not sure if the log_printf buffer will get flushed after stepping over the call or if you have to run your program to completion. Try the former and if you still see nothing, then try the latter.

thanks

Thanks very much. You are right. For some reason, running the program wasn't executing the Log_printf statement. When I step through the program, it all works.
