I agree with you. We will update CLI documentation in comming SDK release.

This basically concerns only projects using CLI with RTT backend, so far only 1 example in our SDK.

Indeed.

But there are specific consideration for the CLI project (and, presumably, and other projects which use the CLI).

This is what needs to be specifically highlighted.

I believe that SES project is generated for most of examples so it is not CLI exclusively.

Hint about deactivating RTT in SES is already in the documentation. We will think how to make more visible.

Since you provide an SES project specifically for this example, I think it's not unreasonable to expect that people will try to use SES Terminal.

Therefore you need to make these limitations explicitly clear in the example documentation.

Hi,

Tab will not work in SES Debug Terminal as it does not interpret ASCII escape codes. You need to use other terminal like PuTTY (prefered).

If you would like to stay with SES Segger Debug Terminal and do not observe doubled echo please execute command:

`cli echo off` -> this only applies for SES Debug Terminal, do not use this command with PuTTY because you will not see an input.

However, please do not use Segger Debug Terminal. To properly use CLI example you need to:

1. Close SES Debug Terminal and switch off RTT in SES (Project settings->Debug->Debugger->RTT Enable-> Set to *No*). This is important to switch off RTT

2. Start RTT session with JLink.exe

3. Run Terminal like PuTTY and configure it according to the documentation (configuration is also important to have all buttons working as expected)

(Please read carefully and apart from general settings apply RTT specific settings)

Doubling-up of characters like that usually means that the application is echoing what you type, and you have local echo enabled on the terminal.
