design software using HAL

When I use the nios2 IDE for my software,for example:I use the printf() function,ok ,it work well.

now the problem is that am I now using the HAL system already???

I think I have used the HAL when I use the standard C function,am I right?

or I have to do something else if I want to use it???

thanks in advance!!! http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

    If you&#39;ve created and run the &#39;hello world&#39; application using the IDE, you&#39;ve used the HAL... the drivers to interface with the UART or JTAG UART used in printf() as well as handling interrupts, caches, etc., are all part of the Nios II HAL.
