We have an STM32 C/C++ project and we have redefined the weak fputc(int, FILE *) function in order to redirect printf output to some UART channel.
Up until now, we were building the project under IAR with the IAR compiler. The logging through UART was working fine.
We have now switched to the arm-none-eabi toolchain and are building the project with g++. But it looks like the redefinition of the fputc function is not linked anymore and so the UART logging is not working.
How can I force the use of the redefined function by printf?
The arm-none-eabi- toolchain is using newlib, which lets you redefine _write(int fd, const void *buf, size_t count) instead, all stdio output functions would then use that interface. fd==1 would correspond to stdout, fd==2 to stderr. You must provide a few more stub functions, like
void _exit(int) {
while(1)
;
}
etc. Most of them are trivial, but printf() requires a working _sbrk() too, because it uses malloc() internally.
Just had the same problem converting project from Keil to Cube. Found this elegant STM32 printf retarget to UART solution on GitHub (and please forgive the copy-paste):
/*# 7- Retarget printf to UART (std library and toolchain dependent) #########*/
#if defined(__GNUC__)
int _write(int fd, char * ptr, int len)
{
HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart1, (uint8_t *) ptr, len, HAL_MAX_DELAY);
return len;
}
#elif defined (__ICCARM__)
#include "LowLevelIOInterface.h"
size_t __write(int handle, const unsigned char * buffer, size_t size)
{
HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart1, (uint8_t *) buffer, size, HAL_MAX_DELAY);
return size;
}
#elif defined (__CC_ARM)
int fputc(int ch, FILE *f)
{
HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart1, (uint8_t *)&ch, 1, HAL_MAX_DELAY);
return ch;
}
#endif
// OR:
// Add syscalls.c with GCC
#ifdef __GNUC__
#define PUTCHAR_PROTOTYPE int __io_putchar(int ch)
#else
#define PUTCHAR_PROTOTYPE int fputc(int ch, FILE *f)
#endif /* __GNUC__ */
/**
* #brief Retargets the C library printf function to the USART.
* #param None
* #retval None
*/
PUTCHAR_PROTOTYPE
{
HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart1, (uint8_t *)&ch, 1, HAL_MAX_DELAY);
return ch;
}
This may or may not work in your particular case, but you get the Idea...
In my case, I had to prepend function type with extern "C" :
extern "C" int _write(int fd, char * ptr, int len)
{
HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart1, (uint8_t *) ptr, len, HAL_MAX_DELAY);
return len;
}

I am working on a project in which i have hooked the system open call. When a user attempts to open a file i want sys_open to block the action if the current task (pid or tgid that "black listed" ) has potential to leak the file out of the host.
Any ways, the hooking itself worked fine on sys_read and sys_write (I have some printk inside the fake function as an indicator).
but, when i try the hooking on the sys_open function, nothing is printed out - means that the override not succeeded.
I printed out the address of the sys call before and after the override so this might not be the issue.
I am confused about what can cause that uneven behavior when hooking different functions.
will be glad for some input here.
thanks !
dmesg output examples:
when hooked write -
...
[ 2989.500485] in my write ...
[ 2989.500585] in my write ...
when hooked open, noting printed, but here some "debug" output -

Your Ubuntu version is based on glibc 2.27.
glibc version 2.26 switched to implementing open with openat:
commit b41152d716ee9c5ba34495a54e64ea2b732139b5
Author: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella#linaro.org>
Date: Fri Nov 11 15:00:03 2016 -0200
Consolidate Linux open implementation
This patch consolidates the open Linux syscall implementation on
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/open{64}.c. The changes are:
1. Remove open{64} from auto-generation syscalls.list.
2. Add a new open{64}.c implementation. For architectures that
define __OFF_T_MATCHES_OFF64_T the default open64 will create
alias to required open symbols.
3. Use __NR_openat as default syscall for open{64}.
You will have to hook openat in addition to open as a result.
Note that the Linux kernel provides a proper interface for this, in the form of the fanotify interface. If you use that, you will not have to worry about such details.
I'm not using the standard library, since my target x86 Linux distro is very limited.
#include <unistd.h>
void _start () {
const char msg[] = "Hello world";
write( STDOUT_FILENO, msg, sizeof( msg ) - 1 );
}
I want to print text to console, but I can't, is there any other way to do this.
The code above wont work because it depends on standard library
gcc Test.cpp -o Test -nostdlib
If you don't have libc, then you need to craft a write() system call from scratch to write to the standard output.
See this resource for the details: http://weeb.ddns.net/0/programming/c_without_standard_library_linux.txt
Code example from the above link:
void* syscall5(
void* number,
void* arg1,
void* arg2,
void* arg3,
void* arg4,
void* arg5
);
typedef unsigned long int uintptr; /* size_t */
typedef long int intptr; /* ssize_t */
static
intptr write(int fd, void const* data, uintptr nbytes)
{
return (intptr)
syscall5(
(void*)1, /* SYS_write */
(void*)(intptr)fd,
(void*)data,
(void*)nbytes,
0, /* ignored */
0 /* ignored */
);
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
write(1, "hello\n", 6);
return 0;
}
I use this code for retarget printf(), but it does not work
#ifdef __GNUC__
/* With GCC/RAISONANCE, small printf (option LD Linker->Libraries->Small printf
set to 'Yes') calls __io_putchar() */
#define PUTCHAR_PROTOTYPE int __io_putchar(int ch)
#else
#define PUTCHAR_PROTOTYPE int fputc(int ch, FILE *f)
#endif /* __GNUC__ */
PUTCHAR_PROTOTYPE
{
/* Place your implementation of fputc here */
/* e.g. write a character to the LCD */
lcd_Data_Write((u8)ch);
return ch;
}
I use STM32F103RBT6
compiler : GCC with emBitz editor
Try hijacking the _write function like so:
#define STDOUT_FILENO 1
#define STDERR_FILENO 2
int _write(int file, char *ptr, int len)
{
switch (file)
{
case STDOUT_FILENO: /*stdout*/
// Send the string somewhere
break;
case STDERR_FILENO: /* stderr */
// Send the string somewhere
break;
default:
return -1;
}
return len;
}
As an alternative, you could write your own printf() function using, Variable Argument Functions (va_list).
With va_list a custom print function looks like the following:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <string.h>
void vprint(const char *fmt, va_list argp)
{
char string[200];
if(0 < vsprintf(string,fmt,argp)) // build string
{
HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart1, (uint8_t*)string, strlen(string), 0xffffff); // send message via UART
}
}
void my_printf(const char *fmt, ...) // custom printf() function
{
va_list argp;
va_start(argp, fmt);
vprint(target, fmt, argp);
va_end(argp);
}
Usage example:
uint16_t year = 2016;
uint8_t month = 10;
uint8_t day = 02;
char* date = "date";
// "Today's date: 2015-12-18"
my_printf("Today's %s: %d-%d-%d\r\n", date, year, month, day);
Note that while this solution gives you convenient function to use, it is slower than sending raw data or using even sprintf(). I have used this solution both on AVR and on STM32 microcontrollers.
You could further modify the vprint like this, where periphery_t is a simple enum type:
void vprint(periphery_t target, const char *fmt, va_list argp)
{
char string[200];
if(0 < vsprintf(string,fmt,argp))
{
switch(target)
{
case PC: PC_send_str(string);
break;
case GSM: GSM_send_str(string);
break;
case LCD: LCD_print_str(string);
break;
default: LCD_print_str(string);
break;
}
}
}
Tank you Bence Kaulics
I use tinyprintf library and it worked quite well : github link
just make sure to add the following in the init code:
// Turn off buffers, so I/O occurs immediately
setvbuf(stdin, NULL, _IONBF, 0);
setvbuf(stdout, NULL, _IONBF, 0);
setvbuf(stderr, NULL, _IONBF, 0);

In your code, your function prototype is
ALT_STATUS_CODE alt_16550_fifo_write
(ALT_16550_HANDLE_t * handle,const char * buffer,size_t count);
the second parameter being const char * buffer.
While calling this function, you're using
void ergo_reset(ALT_16550_HANDLE_t * handle,u_int8_t ergo_adr_int)
{
alt_16550_fifo_write(handle,0x12,1);
alt_16550_fifo_write(handle,ergo_adr_int,1);
ergo_break();
return;
}
here, 0x12 and ergo_adr_int are not of type const char *.
0x12 is an integer constant (hexadecimal constant, to be precise) #.
ergo_adr_int is of u_int8_t type.
Hence the mismatch and the warning(s).
To Resolve
You need to pass a const char * variable as the second argument of the fuunction.
# :: As per C11 standard document, chapter 6.4.4.1, Integer constants,
hexadecimal-constant:
hexadecimal-prefix hexadecimal-digit
hexadecimal-constant hexadecimal-digit
Where
hexadecimal-prefix: one of
0x 0X
and
hexadecimal-digit: one of
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
a b c d e f
A B C D E F
Here is the declaration of you alt_16550_fifo_write function
ALT_STATUS_CODE alt_16550_fifo_write(ALT_16550_HANDLE_t * handle,const char * buffer,size_t count);
The second parameter is of a pointer type but in your program you are always passing integer values:
alt_16550_fifo_write(handle,0x12,1);
alt_16550_fifo_write(handle,ergo_adr_int,1);
You need to pass a pointer to a char. For example:
alt_16550_fifo_write(handle, &(char) {0x12}, 1);
or
char x = 0x12;
alt_16550_fifo_write(handle, &x, 1);
Prototype for alt_16550_fifo_write() is:
ALT_STATUS_CODE alt_16550_fifo_write(ALT_16550_HANDLE_t * handle,
const char * buffer, size_t count);
You are using it at two places:
alt_16550_fifo_write(handle, *ERGO_CMD_GET_ADDRESS,1);
...
alt_16550_fifo_write(handle,0x12,1);
The second parameter is wrong. It should be const char * buffer, for example some string.
I was compiling a C file with gcc on Windows and got pyd file successfully. To my surprise, it shows "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" in hex. Although I still can call the function from it, the program crashed soon, caused by jpeg_read_header() from libjpeg library.
