Problem Description
Printk outputs are not sent to the console using Freescale Kinetis 8.2.0, Zephyr 2.6.0, PlatformIO Core 5.20 (Home 3.3.4). Platform is FRDM-K64F.
To Reproduce
- Install most recent PlatformIO v.2.3.3 in VS Studio Code (Core 5.2.0, Home 3.3.4).
- Install Platfrom “Freescale Kinetis”, ver. 8.2.0
- Try a blinky App and additionally add one line of code at the beginning of main:
printk(“hello world! %s\n”, CONFIG_BOARD); - prj.conf looks like
CONFIG_GPIO=y
CONFIG_SERIAL=y - build and upload to FRDM-K64F
Expected behavior
Green LED should start blinking, “hello world! …” should be seen in console .
Received behavior
The green LED is blinking only if CONFIG_SERIAL=n. LED is not blinking if CONFIG_SERIAL=y, printk statements are sent to console in no case.
Workaround
Using the FRDM-K64F controller with the same simple application (blinky + “HelloWorld”) is working with Freescale Kinetis 8.1.0, Zephyr 2.5.0. LED is blinking properly, printk statements are sent to the console.
Impact
Without logging statements to the console application development is more complicated.
console output
No output.
Environment
- OS: Windows 10
- PlatformIO v.2.3.3 (Core 5.2.0), Zephyr 2.6.0, Freescale Kinetis 8.2.0
- FRDM-K64F
