Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, I'm just catching up on mail.

You can do this with Joerg's printf as well.  Just make whatever
character output routine you pass to fdevopen() behave appropariately
for whatever device you have.  For example, I've used it to printf()
to an LCD, as well as an HDSP2000 based 5x7 character display device
that is about as different from a typical UART as it gets.  Oh, I've
even used it to printf() to an SP03 text to speech module sitting on
the I2C bus, among other things.

Sounds like Joerg is working on a version that does this.
