Hello,

I am learning WinARM and newlib, I am using WinARM version 20060606, and
my target board is Keil MCB2300 demo board with LPC2387.

The attached file is my source code, my project is modify from
http://www.siwawi.arubi.uni-kl.de/avr_projects/arm_projects/lpc2378_demo1_20070629.zip,
I add the syscall.c for newlib, it works fine to print integer to COM0
or COM1, but it doesn’t work with floating point (e.g. printf(“%f”,
3.14);), the processor always crash when I print a floating point.
(sorry, I can’t sure what happen because I don’t have a JTAG debugger, I
guess the program is dead because the LED doesn’t blinking anymore.)

Could there something be wrong with the syscall.c?

One more question, does newlib-lpc library can support LPC23XX serial?

Hi everyone,

I can printf float/double well finally,
in the past few days I studied uC/OS-II and
changed processor mode form USER to SVC mode,
and the printf works well with float/double.
so I guess newlib needs run in privileged mode.

Not in my experience.

Hi Clifford,
I check this problem again,
you are correct.
The problem doesn't cause by operating mode,
the problem is the stack size too small,
originally the stack size is 0x100,
and I change it to 0x400 can fix the problem.
Thank you,
Batoo

Ah! Sorry, should have noticed that, formatted I/O does need about 4k
for stack.
