printk no longer works in project

[Scerion]

Just started another project using an nrf52840 dev board, and the printk() call produces no output. There is no output for Zephy booting, or anything else. I have tried both COM ports that appear when the boardis plugged in, and nothing. I'm using the usual vscode with nrfconnect. I can open both COM ports but there is no output on either one.

Since I last used nrfconnect I have set up vscode with the ESP-IDF (working), could that affect the Nordic plugin?

My config file has the following:

# SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0

CONFIG_SOC_SERIES_NRF52X=y

CONFIG_SOC_NRF52840_QIAA=y

CONFIG_BOARD_NRF52840DK_NRF52840=y

# Enable MPU

CONFIG_ARM_MPU=y

# Enable hardware stack protection

CONFIG_HW_STACK_PROTECTION=y

# Enable RTT

CONFIG_USE_SEGGER_RTT=y

# enable GPIO

# enable uart driver

CONFIG_SERIAL=y

# enable console

CONFIG_CONSOLE=y

CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE=y

# additional board options

Hi Scott

Could you try for example the Hello World sample and see if you see the same there? If so I would then try to disable the ESP-IDF extension just to verify that is it not affecting the nRC Connect Extension

Hi, yes I did try another sample and it did output the expected Zephyr startup message. However my project has no output at all. Debugging does work ok though, so I'm just using that now instead of the printk().

Okey that's good to know. I What i would suggest is to delete your build folder and try a prestine build to see if it solves the problem. I can also try to replicate it if you upload your application( We can set the ticket to private if you don't want to share your application public). I don't see anything that stands out from your prj.conf. Could you try to enable logging and see if it outputs anything on serial or rtt?
