CCS/CC2640R2F: No serial terminal output with CCS

Hi,

I am not able to reproduce what you are seeing here with out of box example ble5_simple_peripheral.
Are you able to see output using terminal from other tools?

if you have changed a lot in the software, can you provide the changes so we can better assist you.

Hi Christin,

Finally getting back to this. Here's a little more information. I'm implementing the SaBLE-x-R2 module from Laird/LSR. They implemented the CC2640r2 in their module and sell it as a precertified BLE5 module. I would like to support display_printf() to the console. I'm following the example shown in the SimpleLink Academy - debug printing::Task4 Display_printf output to the IDE console. The implementation in the SABLEX-R2 board file with my inclusion of TI's SimpleLink example and their display code stubbed out is shown below.

/*

 *  This file is responsible for setting up the board specific items for the
 *  SaBLE-x-R2 module on the SaBLE-x Dev Board.

#endif

This does not display on Display_printf() on the console. I would like to see the output of the following code on the console as an example. This code snippet can be found in the SimplePeripheral example on or around line 1150.

       // Display device address
        Display_printf(dispHandle, SP_ROW_IDA, 0, "%s Addr: %s",
                       (addrMode <= ADDRMODE_RANDOM) ? "Dev" : "ID",
                       Util_convertBdAddr2Str(pPkt->devAddr));

I've made the other few changes described in the SimpleLink Academy. Do you see anything that I've done wrong in my implementation or maybe something else that I need to do?

Thanks,

Patrick
