Hello, I've downloaded Ride today and your ARM tool pack with high hopes, it looks very professional.

I am planning on porting an existing project from another mcu, it mostly does not touch much hardware - put it does need a printf output directed to the UART.

I am hoping that I can do most of the work and validation in your simulator before moving to real hardware target.

I tried making a new project for an STM32 variant, and included stdio.h and tried to printf a "Hello World" string.

Perhaps I was being a bit hopeful, but I was hoping for a text output in a simulator window somewhere. I tried to double click open the USART peripheral and I just get a register dump.

So, some specific questions..

Do I need to write some initialisation code that is specific for this processor variant within main() or are some defaults prepared for me, in crt0, before main is executed ? Things like main mcu clock setup and uart baud rate setup.

Where in the simulator can I view the output from stdio / printf / uart in a textual manner ?

Thank you in advance if you are able to give me a few hints.
