Hello.

I use the board SPC560P-DISP. How can I print an Integer with Tera Term through a serial connection? I use the function chnWriteTimeout to print a string. So:

chnWriteTimeout(&SD1, (uint8_t *)
''Hello World!\r\n''
, 14, TIME_INFINITE);

But an Integer? I tried to use chprintf, but not working. It does not recognize the function chprintf. I included the header chprintf.h

uint32_t number=25;
chprintf(&SD1, 
''%u \n\r''
, number);

The error is:

main.c:(.text_vle.main+0x10c): undefined reference to `chprintf'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [build/
out
.elf] Error 1

In the demo of SPC5 Studio for my board they use only chnWriteTimeout. Best regards Gianluca.

    Ok, I solved so:

    chprintf((BaseSequentialStream *)&SD1, ''Value of dur is: %d'', dur);

    There was no cast. Thanks. Best regards Gianluca.

    Hello,

    I use this code, but nothing happens. I enabled the serial connection and set the baud to 38400 of Tera Term. When I try to use chprintf nothing appears on the screen.
