Compiler/TM4C1237H6PZ: Standard IO Functions in Debug Mode

Part Number: TM4C1237H6PZ

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi Support,

I need help in having the standard I/O functions working in debug mode.
The diagnose I was able to do is that __CIOBUF_ is not cleared (read by the debugger?) after __TI_writemsghas been called, so that __TI_readmsgreturns the value 499 that obviously makes the system jump into an invalid portion of the buffer.
The CIO console does not appear and a Fault condition is issued with a call to FaultISR.

Printf support is set to full. heap size is set to 2kBytes, CIO functions use is enabled. What am I missing?

Project 4555290 is instead woking, opening the CIO console and displaying the fabulous "Hello world!" string.
I tried to check for differences in the projects properties, but was not able to find any (to me) meaningful difference.

Could you please help me?

Thanks and regards,

Alberto

    It is true that CIOBUF is not cleared between CIO calls; this is not by itself indicative of a problem.
    Please make sure you have read processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Tips_for_using_printf
    Make sure CIOBUF is in read-write memory, not FLASH
    It may be that 2k heap is not enough. Try increasing the size of the heap.
    Try giving stdio its own, non-dynamic buffer by using setvbuf
    What function are you calling to perform CIO? I assume it's printf? Try puts instead
    Did you alter the RTS library in any way?
