Thanks Peter, I thought as much. Actually, we are using the latest mspgcc you provide, up to the latest patches. I just wanted to make sure before I dismissed the idea.
I'm just trying to find where the hell everything goes to hell and crashes, we still haven't been able to find it, although we think we got it pinpointed to something related to printf. I'll just have to look inside through JTAG… Thanks! --------------------------------------- Sergio Campamá sergiocamp...@gmail.com On Nov 14, 2011, at 8:52 PM, Peter Bigot wrote: > On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 12:15 PM, Sergio Campamá > <sergiocamp...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I'm developing an app that uses heavily printf for debugging...
