Re: ARM semihosting issue

[Bruno Prado]

Thanks for the reply... I am attaching some code and output:

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
       char name[50] = "Nobody";
       FILE* file = fopen("name", "r");
       printf("What is your name?\n");
       fprintf(stdout, "Reading from file...\n");
       fscanf(file, "%s", name);
       fscanf(stdin, "%s", name);
       printf("My name is %s\n", name);
       fprintf(stderr, "I am alive!!!\n");
       fclose(file);
       return 0;
}

$ cat name
Turing

$ qemu-system-arm -M netduino2 -nographic -semihosting -kernel vp2.bin
What is your name?
Reading from file...
My name is Turing
I am alive!!!

$

Basically the scanf call has no effect. I was expecting a pause in execution to input a string, but nothing happens.

Rather hard to say what might be going on with this little
information... what semihosting calls are you making, what
do you expect them to do and what do they actually do?
Do you have a minimal test case we can reproduce with?
