CCS/AM3352: Printf output issue

Part Number:AM3352

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

i am running on a custom board, running RTOS, GNU compiler 4.9.3, SYSBIOS 6.46.5.55

nothing is ever output in the console when i attempt printf. when i run the code:

ENET_PHY_log("SetPhyMode:%08X Auto:%d, FD10:%d, HD10:%d, FD100:%d, HD100:%d, FD1000:%d LPBK:%d\n", PhyMode,
(PhyMode & NWAY_AUTO), (PhyMode & MII_NWAY_FD10),(PhyMode & MII_NWAY_HD10),(PhyMode & MII_NWAY_FD100),
(PhyMode & MII_NWAY_HD100), (PhyMode & NWAY_FD1000),
(PhyMode & NWAY_LPBK) );

where ENET_PHY_log is defined as printf, nothing shows up on the console. i have a fairly large heap and stack and PhyMode is defined as Uint32 *PhyState = &((ENETPHY_DEVICE *) hPhyDev)->PhyState;

this is the default code for the BBB enet_phy.c

#include <stdio.h> is the first active line in the file
