No output from semihosting after changing development laptop

[paul-syd-smith]

Development environment: Visual Studio with Visual GDB

Programmer: SEGGER JTag-EDU Mini

Target Platform: Raspberry Pi Pico

Just wondering if anyone else has had an issue with semihosting not giving any output in the “ARM Semihosting Console” window and fixed it.

 

I had to change to a new laptop as my old one was quite literally ‘old’ and the keyboard was getting a bit flaky. I have moved my development tools/environment/licences to my new laptop and can compile and run my source withput issue. I can even debug it….but the ARM Semihosting Console window remains mysteriously devoid of any output.

At the moment I have been unable to find out why this would be the case. Has anyone had a similar experience and can point me in the direction of a checkbox I may have missed, add-on missing or something like that??

TIA.

Paul

Hi all – for what it’s worth – it was a stupid error on my part. I post my findings here in case it helps someone else.

At some point during the “move” of my development environment from machine A to machine B, I was getting a compile time error at the link stage about missing lprofile (or something like that)… a bit of Googling suggested profiling wasn’t supported so I removed “profile” from the target_link_libraries() section.

Lo an behold it all compiled and ran as expected. A little while later I discovered that semihosting wasn’t working but had forgotten that I had removed Profile from the target_link_libraries section. Adding this back in no longer complained about the missing library but did allow semihosting to work.

I *think* at some point in time between removing “profile” and putting it back I must have downloaded the “missing” library – probably as part of downloading the embedded framework.

 

Thanks for looking, and happy coding.

Paul.
