Encoding in "ARM Semihosting Console"

[Yuriy]

Hi,

We use ARM Semihosting Console to debug our applications. By-design our application uses OEM 866 encoding (Cyrillic).

Is it possible to change encoding for “ARM Semihosting Console” window?

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry, the VisualGDB semihosting console only supports UTF-8 as it has become a de-facto standard encoding for all non-Latin characters. Would switching the encoding of your source files to UTF-8 be a reasonable workaround?

No, we can’t change encoding of sources, because CP866 is used to communicate with third-party device. All messages in this device should be stored exactly in CP866.

We already have workaround – print short message in debug console (using latin characters), and then print actual data. So we can see, that data transferred. Anyway, thank you for your answer.
