FPGA: Printing UART on minicom possible? - LPLA - 09-23-2020

Hello,

while looking at the pulp-rt-examples I found theĀ uart examples and I was wondering if it's possible to print the contents of the buffer to minicom using the rt_uart_write function.
I have already tested the hello example on ZedBoard and the printf works just fine with minicom.
Now I was wondering if it's possible to write the same Hello! to minicom using the rt_uart_write function.
If I run theĀ send example I don't get any output on minicom or in RTL simulation.
Same if I put a string in the buffer instead of the loop that is used in the example.
Shouldn't it be possible to get something on minicom with this method somehow?
I also played around with the RTS and CTS signals as i didn't want to have them float, even tho it worked with the normal hello example, but it didn't help with the above method.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

Edit: I managed to make it work. It was an issue in the code of the app I tried to run.

Thank you,
LPLA
