Hi,
I often use the debug (printf) viewer to display my debugging data.
Is it possible to send a "color code" in the output string to get the output in different colors? (eg.g print values in green for good results and red for bad results)Some serial terminal programs support this, and it would be great if uVision would also support this. I didn't find this in the manual.
Thank you.
Unfortunately it is not possible to change the text colors in the serial- or debug(printf) window dynamically.These windows support a subset of the VT-100 terminal sequences to control for example the cursor position but the color codes are intentionally ignored because the current implementation of the window does support different colors. If you would use the encoding to change colors, the debug(printf) window would not display funny characters (sequences are detected and ignored).
Hello all,
Keil support made a new knowledge base article about this issue.
See µVISION DEBUGGER: Colored string in serial and debug(printf) windows
Please let us know any feedback you have about that article.
thanks,
Kevin
