RE: [ECOS] LIBC and STDIO

["Perry Wang" <perrywang@nmnc.com>]

Hi Mr. Larmour,

I don't know what did it, but after downloading and setting up the latest
CVS source tree, the printf works with "/dev/tty1"

thanks for all the help.  appreciate it.

btw, that gdb/sniffing really sounds impressive.  I used to only use it for
hacking purpose :)

regards,

Perry
