Using semihosting to printf() ?

[i_am_trying]

This is not working for me. My goal is to use printf() in my code. I follow the steps outlined in this link

..including calling initialise_monitor_handles(); before calling printf().

I rebuild/link -> flash -> debug -> step over a line with a simple printf("hello there..."\r\n");

After stepping through the printf() i expected to see "hello there..." printed on the console window. However it is not.

Is there something obvious i am doing wrong? thank you.

I took Victor's suggestion and tried RTT. I didn't know what RTT was, but it was simple to add printf() capabilities using it. I am running Eclipse for the IDE...so besides this tutorial; devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ and the additional steps specific to Eclipse from here: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../
