SW4STM32 and SW4Linux fully supports the STM32MP1 asymmetric multicore Cortex/A7+M4 MPUs

   With System Workbench for Linux, Embedded Linux on the STM32MP1 family of MPUs from ST was never as simple to build and maintain, even for newcomers in the Linux world. And, if you install System Workbench for Linux in System Workbench for STM32 you can seamlessly develop and debug asymmetric applications running partly on Linux, partly on the Cortex-M4.
You can get more information from the ac6-tools website and download (registration required) various documents highlighting:

printf through uart

The way I got printf (and all other console-oriented stdio functions) to work was by creating custom implementations of the low-level I/O functions like _read() and _write().

The GCC C library makes calls to the following functions to perform low-level I/O :

int _read(int file, char *data, int len)
int _write(int file, char *data, int len)
int _close(int file)
int _lseek(int file, int ptr, int dir)
int _fstat(int file, struct stat *st)
int _isatty(int file)


These functions are implemented witihin the GCC C library as stub routines with “weak” linkage. If a declaration of any of the above functions appears in your own code, your substitute routine will override the declaration in the library and be used instead of the default (non-functional) routine.

I have copied my implementations of these functions below. You will need to substitute the calls to UART_TxBlocking() and UART_RxBlocking() with calls to whatever functions you have created that do U(S)ART I/O.
