Hi Jonathan,

After talking with one of the senior engineers in the office, it turned out that it is different to run a ".c" program on a computer than on a development kit. Since those programs are run on our DKs, "printf()" statements cannot reach the values to be printed. For this, "NRF_LOG_INFO()-like" functions are used to print out something to PuTTY, and it gets the data from the board using UART.

Thanks for your reply though,

Omer

Hi,

From a Nordic viewpoint this is not something we support. If you want to use VS Code then i suggest that you upgrade to the nRF Connect SDK.

So printf() works when you are using putty? But not with VS code terminal?

What terminal in VS code are you using? This question might be better suited on a VS code forum if it is not specific to one of our VS Code extensions.

Have you tested with one of our examples from the nRF 5 SDK?

Is this a question about you nRF5 SDK project or a VS code issue?

Regards,
Jonathan
