c - Long Long to char conversion function in embedded system

Question

Im working with a embedded system and I need implement a way to convert long long to char.

The problem is that I can not use sprintf in this system to do that, so im looking for alternative ways/functions to implement this.

Suggestions of implementations for LongLongToChar function are welcome.

Google "itoa". There are many variations. Here's an example.

char* itoa(int val, int base){

    static char buf[32] = {0};

    int i = 30;

    for(; val && i ; --i, val /= base)

        buf[i] = "0123456789abcdef"[val % base];

    return &buf[i+1];

}

Specifically, here's an 'lltoa'.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits.h>


char* lltoa(long long val, int base){

    static char buf[64] = {0};

    int i = 62;
    int sign = (val < 0);
    if(sign) val = -val;

    if(val == 0) return "0";

    for(; val && i ; --i, val /= base) {
        buf[i] = "0123456789abcdef"[val % base];
    }

    if(sign) {
        buf[i--] = '-';
    }
    return &buf[i+1];

}

int main() {
    long long a = LLONG_MAX;
    long long b = LLONG_MIN + 1;
    long long c = 23;

    printf("%ld\n", sizeof(a));
    printf("max '%s'\n", lltoa(a, 10));
    printf("min '%s'\n", lltoa(b, 10));
    printf("-1  '%s'\n", lltoa((long long)-1, 10));
    printf("23  '%s'\n", lltoa(c, 10));
}
