About this course

The kprintf() API is a lightweight logging mechanism that is useful for debugging target boot problems. You will see how to enable this, and what issues arise when using it to troubleshoot problems during the VxWorks boot timeline. While kprintf() usually outputs to a serial device, it can be redirected to other target hardware devices too. The lab will allow you use kprintf() yourself.
