38 RabbitLink (EG2100)
E.6 RabbitLink Console API (prior to Dynamic C 7.20)
The RabbitLink serial console may be accessed via the serial port using the PROG IN connector
on the RabbitLink, as was done in Chapter 2 to configure the RabbitLink.
If RabbitLink firmware version 1.00 is being used, the API functions described in this section will
be recognized by the RabbitLink. Prior to Dynamic C 7.20 these functions were in STDIO.LIB.
int PrintToConsole(char flag);
This function controls whether
STDIO commands such as printf go to the RabbitLink
serial console in addition to
the Dynamic C STDIO window.
PARAMETER
flag 0–printf and related commands work as normal
1–printf and related commands go to the RabbitLink serial con-
sole as well.
RETURN VALUE
0 if successful, -1 if not.
int SendToConsole(char *data, int length);
This function writes a binary buffer of a specified length to the serial console on a Rab-
bitLink. Any data are acceptable since the data will not show up in
theDynamicC
STDIO window.

.
