Jlink RTT not working with simple Renesas example

Hi,

I'm new to Renesas, I have the EK_RA4M2 eval kit. I'm running some examples (including Blinky) and they're working fine.

However, I cannot get JLink RTT to work. I'm following the instructions in the QuickLab document RTT_Quick_FSP_Lab_300.pdf. I selected target device R7FA4M2AD for my eval kit.

Initially, I ran the ek_ra4m2 example for adc. I could see from the code it has some RTT printfs in it. It appeared to run fine, but I get no output in the J-Link RTT viewer terminal.

Then, I tried to go simpler, and used the Blinky example, with RTT printfs. Here, I can see the LEDs blinking so I know it's running OK (in Debug mode). Again, I get nothing on the J-Link RTT viewer.

I do get what looks like correct output in the lower window of the RTT viewer (it seems to be RTT console output). This is what it shows

So everything looks fine, but why do I get nothing in the terminal above?

PS I've tried the AllTerminals tab, and also Terminal 0 and Terminal 1 (I know it should just be using Terminal 0).

Any help much appreciated.

Below are the J-Link RTT settings I'm using.

  • Thanks Sergey,

    That video is great, and it fixed my problem. I had also tried to set the address of the Segger RTT buffer explicitely, but using the address given in a readme file provided with the example code, for this exact eval kit. This address was different to the one that I found in the .map file, following the method in the video. 

    So I guess there must be some slight difference in the way the build was done. And also, it seems that autodetect does not necessarily work.

    Problem solved, thanks again for the quick response.
