Sprintf hardfaulting with float input

Sam B

Hello,

I'm using the arm-gnu-toolchain-13.2.Rel1-x86_64-arm-none-eabi for a cortex M4 on a TM4C1294NCPDT. I've run into a problem where the chip hard faults when a float is passed to sprintf. sprintf works with other inputs. The code to reproduce this is

char garb_float[100];
float float_garb = 0.01f;
snprintf(garb_float, 100, "%012.9f", float_garb);

The stack trace is

I'm also using the TI libraries for initialization if that helps. Does this toolchain have a function for converting strings to floats? Thank you for any guidance
