Electronic – STM32 Semihosting – SIGTRAP received when printf called

Have followed this guide here (http://www.wolinlabs.com/blog/stm32f4.semihosting.html) to get semihosting on the STM32F103 working. Basically my goal is to get printf working over JTAG (ST-Link/v2).

The one change from the guide was that _sbrk was looking for 'end' rather than '__end__'. Here is my linker file.

When I debug my program when I use the printf function the call trace is as follows.

1. main() in main.c
2. _put_r() in puts.c
3. __sfvwrite_r() in fvwrite.c
4. _write_r() in writer.c
5. _write() in syscalls.c
6. _swiwrite() in syscalls.c
7. do_AngelSWI() in swi.h

At this stage the 'SIGTRAP' signal is received.

Does anybody have a clue to what is going wrong?
