µVISION: USER APPLICATION OUTPUT MISSING

Information in this article applies to:

• µVision Version 2 and Later

QUESTION

When I start an application from µVision's Tools menu, the output does not appear in the Output Window - Command tab. Can you tell me why my user output fails? This application was written with Microsoft Visual Studio and uses the function cprintf to output text.

ANSWER

The output from the cprintf function cannot be redirected. µVision redirects the STDIO output pipe that is accessed by the printf function. When you write a console application, If you replace all cprintf by printf calls, your application should integrate into the µVision IDE as a user application.
