Unable to print long long

I now have the kind of aws_iot project and added this in prj.conf to make it work with long longs and floats.

CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC=y 
CONFIG_MINIMAL_LIBC_LL_PRINTF=y
CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC_FLOAT_PRINTF=y
CONFIG_FPU=y

When I add CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC=y to the Asset Tracker v2 it does not compile anymore, it gives me this warning, I think the kind of warning you meant previously.

warning: CJSON_LIB (defined at C:/ncs/v2.5.99-dev1/nrf/modules/cjson/Kconfig:7) has direct dependencies (NEWLIB_LIBC && NEWLIB_LIBC_FLOAT_PRINTF) || EXTERNAL_LIBC || PICOLIBC with value n, but is currently being y-selected by the following symbols:

Nice!

Not important to make this work. If you want to give it a second try, you can choose menuconfig from the three dots next to the"nRF Kconfig GUI" action in VS Code.

I also saw this when I tried to reproduce your issue on my end, so I have reported this to our VS Code developers.

Thanks for mentioning the potential bug!

I have this warning in Visual Studio code when I hover the setting but this warning is also in the hello world example that does work.

CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC was assigned the value y, but got the value n. Missing dependencies:
NEWLIB_LIBC_SUPPORTED

This would be a glitch in Visual Studio code according to this.

If you set CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC in prj.conf, and it is ignored, you should get a warning in the build log.

I like to debug this using "west build -t menuconfig", then you can see how dependencies are set if you search for an option("/") and then press "?" for more info on the option.

Try to also add "CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC_FLOAT_PRINTF=y" to Asset Tracker v2 and see if that works.

My next question is why does this work in this hello world example but not when I add the same code in the aws_iot example, it looks like I am in the aws_iot example not allowed to enable CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC.

Where it is not working there is this line in .config

# CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC is not set

Where it is working the line is

CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC=y

So this is the problem I think but why is it not set after I added the line in the prj.conf?

It is likely some configurations which differ between the projects.

In these situations, I like to compare build/zephyr/.config between the projects and look for differences which might be related to the issue at hand

Yes this works, but still don't understand why it does not work when I add this to the aws_iot example project.

I tried to add the settings and code you uploaded to the hello world example and flashed it to a nRF9160DK, SDK: v2.5.0.
It prints as expected, right?

*** Booting nRF Connect SDK v2.5.0 ***
1099511627776
1099511627776
1099511627776
Hello World! nrf9160dk_nrf9160

Here is a zip of the project:

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../6866.long_5F00_long_5F00_hello_5F00_world.zip

Can you test this and see if it works for you?

Also three times zero with printf.

Hi,

Try to use printf instead of printk.
