1. I need use stdio to display debug information. The debug information is output by the UART.
Now I modify the function "int _swiwrite ( int file, char * ptr, int len)" in "\newlib-1.10.0\newlib\libc\sys\arm\syscalls.c".
This function is modified something like this:
for (i=0; i<len; i++)
{
while(1)
{
if (UART can send data)
{
break;
} }
send one byte
}
Is it OK?
When I use stdio function, I find it's not a good way to modify like this. Any suggestion?
2. I need use malloc/free to manage memory. When I check the function "caddr_t _sbrk (int incr)" in "\newlib-1.10.0\newlib\libc\sys\arm\syscalls.c", I find _sbrk() tries to manage the memory between [end, sp). Although it's ok to manage like this, I want to know why _sbrk() on the ARM system doesn't try to manage a fixed range of memory? For example, manage the memory between [end, end + MEMORY_SIZE).
Cheers Nick
