I have seen some debug_print define in some files
Makefile:# CFLAGS += -DDEBUG_PRINT_ON_UART # Redirect the console output to the UART
utils/interface/debug.h:#ifdef DEBUG_PRINT_ON_UART
utils/interface/debug.h: #error "Need to define ENABLE_UART to use DEBUG_PRINT_ON_UART"
could you tell me how can i get the debug_print by the stm32 uart, should i modify the code ? and how to connect the chip ?

Are you planning to use it for debugging? We use a 3.3V FTDI cable and solder it to the expansion port as shown in the picture.
Expansion pin - FTDI cable color
3 - Yellow (STM32 TX)
5 - Orange (STM32 RX)
18 - Black (GND)
What we have planned for a while is to use a virtual comport driver and use the USB for debugging but we have just not had the time to implement it. If you are up for it ST has code for it.

thank you tobias, you are so warm-hearted
Do i have to remake the firmware with DEBUG=1 or other options?

It should be enough by setting
Code: Select all
CFLAGS += -DENABLE_UART # To enable the uart
CFLAGS += -DDEBUG_PRINT_ON_UART # Redirect the console output to the UART
DEBUG=1 is mainly to be used for JTAG debugging.
