undefined reference to getc error

Question

Hi,

I am new to nios processor. when I use getchar function in my programm, I am getting error "undefined reference to `getc'".My task is very simple.I need to read a charecter from console and compare that charecter,if it is "w" I have to send data to pio ( again from console and it is just 8 bit pio). If it is "r" I have to read data from PIO (I am lucky, atleast printf is working ).Can anybody tell me what is wrong with getchar function ? and any suggestions to impliment my task.

Hi friends,

Sorry for the previous post.I have got solution from some other thread.I have increased the memory size and I have unchecked the small c library on bps properties and my code is working fine:).

The 'small' C library may well have a function to read a character directly from the JTAG UART fifo - it wouldn't be that big! But I wouldn't know what it was called!

The hal.enable_lightweight_device_driver_api must set to true if the small device drivers bsp option is checked.

Both settings can be made in the BSP editor
