Can you please give the exact syntax for printing statements in segger studio

Good timing. I was just typing the same suggestion!

@binhnguyens There is an on-board J-Link debugger on the nRF-DK, you don't need to buy a seperate j-link debugger.

That would be option 2. Printing out the UART to a terminal program. Nordic nicely encapsulates that with the NRF_LOG stuff. What is your setup if the UART doesn't work for you either?

The segger printing is very useful and easy to use. It even allows you to change the colour of the displayed text, so that log statements for error conditions can really stand out.

A couple of options jump to mind for you:

If you are using a Segger J-Link for programming/debugging you can print through the Segger RTT and use their RTT viewer on your computer to see the output. I've used this on a couple of projects and its a great help.
Nordic also provides a NRF_LOG that can print out the UART to a terminal program. If you aren't using the UART this would be an option for you.

There are examples of both in the SDK example projects.
