Nios II Console only displays the first printf statement

As the title says, I am trying to print some values, and the Nios II Console only prints the first printf statement.

Here's my code so far:

#include <stdio.h># include <alt_types.h># include <io.h># include <system.h># include <string.h>
int main()
{
        unsigned long *THE_ADDRESS;
         THE_ADDRESS = (unsigned long *)ADDRESS_SPAN_EXTENDER_0_WINDOWED_SLAVE_BASE;
         printf("Debugging");
         printf("Reading from Address: %p", THE_ADDRESS);
         IOWR_32DIRECT(THE_ADDRESS,0, 0);
         int i = 0;
         printf("value: %x", IORD_32DIRECT(THE_ADDRESS, i));
         while(i<20)
         {
             printf("value: %x", IORD_32DIRECT(THE_ADDRESS, i));
             i++;
         }
         return 0;
}

The above code only prints: Debugging

Has anyone else gotten this issue before?

Thank you so much,

Vinny

    Try adding a newline to the end of each printf format string?

    Whats probably happening is that your second printf, the string is being placed into the buffer, but then your "IOWR_32DIRECT(THE_ADDRESS,0,0)" is hanging the software, so the second printf text never gets sent up to the console.

    Adding a newline to each line, you should get each line shown before the software continues execution with the next statement.

    Dear Ted,

    Thank you so much for your quick response.

    I actually had newlines in there before, and it would still only print the first printf statement.

    The code can print a simple printf, but if I try to print the result of an IORD_32DIRECT, it "hangs up" there and doesn't print that printf statement.

    I was trying to look up documentation for IORD to see what return type it is, do you have any idea what it is?

    Thanks again,

    Vinny
