@PStechPaul:
I compiled your file with MPLAB IDE 5.10 and XC8, BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 657ms), but I can't find .hex file.
In serial.c folder, I don't find it.
Thanks.

@pcbbc:
Please see attached file.
It is very clear that txstr function is wrong.
In your pointer version: RCSTA=0b10010000; In your printf version: RCSTA = 0b10000000; REGISTER 10-1:TXSTA: TRANSMIT STATUS AND CONTROL REGISTER (ADDRESS 98h)
bit 4SYNC: USART Mode Select bit
1 = Synchronous mode
0 = Asynchronous mode You do understand the difference between synchronous and asynchronous mode and realise that... SPBRG=25; ...selects completely different baud rates in synchronous vs asynchronous modes? TABLE 10-1:BAUD RATE FORMULA
BRGH = 0 (Low Speed)
SYNC = 0 Asynchronous: Baud Rate = FOSC/(64(X+1))
SYNC = 1 Synchronous: Baud Rate = FOSC/(4(X+1))
BRGH = 1 (High Speed)
SYNC = 0 Asynchronous: Baud Rate = FOSC/(16(X+1))
SYNC = 1 Synchronous: N/A Apologies I didn't spot this earlier. But in my defence, no one else did either. TBH most of us probably assumed you were following a very basic rule of debugging: Change as little as possible between versions. If you arrive at a solution that works, go backwards until you find the change that broke it. So if following that mantra, if you suspect a problem with the txstr function, the ONLY thing you should be changing is txstr to printf. That's clearly not the case with the code you posted.

@PStechPaul: Your code is OK(see attached file)! The string "Hello world" appears when I power on the PIC or the reset button and waits for echoes from the keyboard That's what the code has to do. Now I'll test @AMPS code(pointer method). Thanks all.

And lo, the txstr function required zero modification.
So what was the problem?

@AMPS:
Your code give 2 compilation errors. I'll come back, I have to leave the office.
Thanks all.

@pcbbc:
The compiler!?
So your code works regardless of if you set synchronous or asynchronous mode for the serial port, with SPBRG=25? I highly doubt it.

@pcbbc: Code with printf() sent continuously "Hello World!", no echo. In "pointers code" if CREN = 0, I don't receive the echo from keyboard.

CREN must be set to receive: 10.2.2 USART ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
...
Once Asynchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting bit CREN (RCSTA<4>).

In post#83 you confused RCSTA and TXSTA. As nidac stated, they have never set the SYNC bit in TXSTA.
To get a useful answer, always state which PIC you are using!

@PStechPaul, @ric: correct. @pcbbc: Look at the attached file, it is a code that has printf () and echo simultaneously. The code is compiled with HI-TECH C Compiler v. 7.86 PL3.

That output seems to be working fine.
Do you still have a problem?

Post#92 was addressed to pcbbc, as they had made a mistake interpreting your settings.

if u r getting answer . you should start working further , not to stick on same issue. The Initialization can be done in several ways.All lead to same. if its working just proceed further.
TXSTA=0b00000100;
TXSTA=0X04;
in XC8 compiler
TX1STAbits.SYNC=0;
TX1STAbits.BRGH=0;
Hitech compiler
SYNC=0;
BRGH=1;
Amps *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
