How to printf a float data to serial on nrf51822?

I just find %f and %lf does not work on printf or Serial.printf, but the same code works fine on stm32 nucleo board.

Is there any difference in C libs?

It should be the same. So if you run this code (entering the correct pins for tx and rx) you get the Hello but not the number?

Serial pc(tx,rx);
main (){
  float x = 10.2;
  pc.printf("Hello\r\n");
  pc.printf("x= %.1f\r\n",x);
}

The same code works on my stm32 nucleo board, but does not work on this one

That is a simple , If you got 10.11, you can send it as 1011 , then when you received, just do 1011/10 then you get what you need

Thanks YuFei, I agree it is a solution, but does not solve my problem
