UART I/O on LPC4357 using Keil uVision

The expected behavior when using compiler-specific code with another compiler is that it doesn't work.

The big question then: have you looked through the knowledge base articles, the product manuals, and the examples?

Hi Per,

Thanks for replying back. I included the Retarget.c file in my code, which seems to have fixed the error I was getting earlier. But, still I do not see any output on the TeraTerm or RealTerm terminal emulators. The code compiles perfectly but it does not print out anything. My UART is setup closely following the code examples given for the Keil board I am using, but this does not seem to work for me.

Here is main() function that initialises the UART.

int main(void) {

         uint16_t arg1;
         uint16_t arg2;

         char line[40];
         char command[40];

         //Initialize UART#1
         UartInit();

         SystemCoreClockUpdate();
         SysTick_Config(SystemCoreClock/100);  /* Generate interrupt each 10 ms*/

         printf("\t*****************************************");
         printf("\n\n\tSerial Communication Setup Complete.");
         printf("\n\n\t*****************************************");

         while(1) {

                 printf("\nEnter command: ");
                 if (fgets(line, sizeof line, stdin) != NULL) { //checks to see if there is a null character '\0' in the string entered by user.

                         char *newline = strchr(line, '\n');    //search the entered string for newline character '\n'.

                         if (newline != NULL) {

                                 *newline = '\0';       //replaces that newline character with a null '\0'
                         }
                 }

                sscanf(line, "%s %d %d", command, &arg1, &arg2);      //parses the user entered string

                if (strcmp(command, "wrIO") == 0) {   //checks to see if entered command was wrIO

                        //writeIO(arg1, arg2);  //calls the function that writes to the memory location specified by user
                        printf("wrIO under construction.");

                } else if (strcmp(command, "rdIO") == 0) {    //checks to see if entered command was rdIO

                        //readIO(arg1); //calls the function that reads from the memory location specified by user
                        printf("rdIO under construction.");
                } else if (strcmp(command, "ADC") == 0) {     //checks to see if entered command was wrIO

                        printf("ADC under construction.");
                } else {

                        printf("You entered an invalid command. The valid commands are: \nwrIO registerAddress data \nrdIO registerAddress \nADC ChannelValue(1-0)");
                }

                UartGetChar();
        }
 }

Also, when I run the debugger to see what the problem is it gives me the following error:

BS \\Serial_API\Driver.c\34
*** error 65: access violation at 0xFFFFFFF4 : no 'write' permission

I went through the knowledgebase articles and I mapped the memory from 0xFFFFFFF0 to 0xFFFFFFFF for read and write, and I am not clear if that solves the problem. But, should I be worried about debugger errors since there are no compiler errors?

Please advise.

I know most of the questions might annoy the experts in this forum, but I do not have any other source of seeking solution to this issue.

Thanks.
