CCS/CC2650: UART failed to open successfully

Part Number: CC2650

Hey,

I am using contiki-ng for the development of my project on launchpad cc2650 and the target platform is simplelink.

I want to use the uart for my project and or that I am using the UART.h library which is located under ti/drives in contiki architecture folder for simplelink.

it is failing to open the uart.

Now I think that there is only one uart and the printf function is using that to pass the serial messages to the terminal.

If this is the case then it is possible to use the uart for some other purpose alogside with printf.

or there is a way to disable use of uart by printf and assigning the uart exclusively for particular purpose

#include "contiki.h"
#include <ti/drivers/UART.h>
/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
PROCESS(cp, "GPIO Project");
AUTOSTART_PROCESSES(&cp);
PROCESS_THREAD(cp, ev, data)
{
    PROCESS_BEGIN();
    char        input;
    UART_Handle uart;
    UART_Params uartParams;

    // Initialize the UART driver.
    UART_init();

    // Create a UART with data processing off.
    UART_Params_init(&uartParams);
    uartParams.writeDataMode = UART_DATA_BINARY;
    uartParams.readDataMode = UART_DATA_BINARY;
    uartParams.readReturnMode = UART_RETURN_FULL;
    uartParams.readEcho = UART_ECHO_OFF;
    uartParams.baudRate = 115200;

    // Open an instance of the UART drivers
    uart = UART_open(Board_UART0, &uartParams);

    if (uart == NULL) {
        // UART_open() failed
        printf("Failed");
    }
    else {

    // Loop forever echoing
    while (1) {
        UART_read(uart, &input, 1);
        UART_write(uart, &input, 1);
    }
    }
    PROCESS_END();
}
