displaying fractional value

[chandrajit_pal]

hello Sir,

          I am using the edk based platform  for my project. I need to display a fraction value for example 12.3452 after some processing on the hyperterminal. However using floating point datatype in the C file is not solving my issue. It is only displaying the whole number part before the point i.e only 12. So how to solve it.

you mean you tried something like the following:

float f = 1.2345;
prinft("%f", f);
and got '1' only?

[chandrajit_pal]

yes sir..and not only that when I am using the format 2.4f also I am getting 1. when 1.9 is the desired result I am getting 1. i.e always the floor value.

Can you post an example of your code where this happens?  Are you really using printf and not xil_printf?

[chandrajit_pal]

Sir,

        I have attached my code herewith..This is simple an addition of two numbers say 1.2 ans 1.3 to produce 2.5 However when I am using xil_printf() I am getting the summation 2 instead of 2.5. However when I am using the function printf() instead of xil_printf() I am getting the error "microblaze_0_i_bram_ctrl_microblaze_0_d_bram_ctrl' overflowed by 592 bytes".

So what to do?

[muzaffer]

xil_printf does not support floating point numbers.

[chandrajit_pal]

yes sir that is true however when I am using only printf() then I am getting the error "microblaze_0_i_bram_ctrl_microblaze_0_d_bram_ctrl' overflowed by 592 bytes"..So any way out to this problem.

Thanks in advance

printf() uses quit a bit more memory compared to xil_printf(). You need to increase the amount of BRAM available for your application.
