GNU console output in CCS
This is just a small tip for novices as I could not find it documented (of course that could be my search skills). I needed console output from my MSP430 device to the CCS console window. printf didn't work but found this trick which may be so obvious as to be undocumented:
Use fprintf(stdio, ... or fprinft(stderr, ..... apparently the stdio and stderr are wired up to the CCS console but not printf.
Example :
fprintf(stdio,"abc");
I hope this will save someone new to GNU a few minutes...
