For embedded software developer using printf is the most used debug method on target. But in vxworks6.x, it start to change because the default stdout/stderr is redirected. If you connect to device by shell/telnet, printf in the code will not put to the stdout/stderr in the current shell. Solution: You can put a the following code in the debug version. Once you have connect to target by shell/telnet, call the function to redirect some task /all task io to the current shell. void ioRedirect ( void ) { int shellTid = 0 ; int shellOpFd = 0 ; int globalStdFd = 0 ; shellTid = taskIdSelf (); shellOpFd = ioTaskStdGet (shellTid, 1 ); globalStdFd = ioGlobalStdGet ( 1 ); ( void ) logMsg ( "LM:Initial task output.shellFd %d, GlobalFd %d. \n " , shellOpFd, globalStdFd, 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 ); printf ( "p:Initial task output.shellFd %d, GlobalFd %d. \n " , shellOpFd, globalStdFd); /*you can specify the task who need pr
